Red Hill Gallery

Red Hill Gallery is an Australian art gallery on Musgrave Road in Paddington, Brisbane, with a broad selection spanning established mid- and senior-career artists as well as emerging practitioners. Its programme includes monthly exhibitions of realist, impressionist and contemporary painting, alongside works on paper, bronze sculpture, glass and ceramics. Visitors can also browse new arrivals and shop by medium, making the gallery a useful stop whether you are looking for a particular type of work or simply want to see what is currently on display.

The gallery’s exhibitions provide a changing focus. In Her Element brings together Glenda Borchard, Stacey Conridge, Julie Hutchings and Emma Sheldrake in a group show centred on different aspects of women’s experience. The exhibition includes portraiture, figurative work and contemporary expression, moving through ideas of vulnerability, confidence, individuality and self-expression. The online collection also features works by these artists, including paintings by Borchard and Sheldrake, and figurative pieces by Conridge and Hutchings. Availability and prices vary, with some listed works marked as sold.

The setting has its own history. Since opening in 1986, Red Hill Gallery has remained at 61 Musgrave Road, in a small red building with a green awning on a property more than a century old. Built in the early 1900s by the Whitehouse family for their organ business, the building later housed a confectionery manufacturer, sound studio and printing press. That background gives the gallery a distinct connection to Brisbane’s changing commercial history, while the rooms now provide space for viewing and acquiring Australian art.

Red Hill Gallery suits visitors who enjoy browsing exhibitions, comparing different artistic approaches or seeking a work for their home or collection. It can be visited independently or as part of a shared art outing, with street parking available and international shipping offered for purchases. The gallery also sells gift vouchers and invites visitors to sign up for updates about exhibitions, artist events and promotions. It is open seven days, from 10am to 4pm.
