Brisbane Outsider Artists Studio Program

Welcome to the Brisbane Outsider Artists (BOA) studio

Become a collector

Outsider Artists share a common bond in their social status as outsiders and as artists practising and producing work on the edges of mainstream cultural activity. Currently, the work echoes across international borders with the development of the ABLE ART Network in Japan, EUCREA in Europe and the DADAA National Network in Australia. These networks include artists and administrators from Asia and Europe and the USA who work to promote and value the visual artwork of people experiencing disabilities to mainstream galleries and collections and to advocate on behalf of people with disabilities around the world.

BOA Studio is open Mondays and Tuesdays

Artists wishing to join BOA are invited to contact Jasmin Jacobson, Visual Arts Co-ordinator, on 3844 5897 or by email.

Exhibitions involving BOA members

Posted on 09/05/2012 by

2011 saw the involvement of many members from the Brisbane Outsider Artists’ Studio in a range of local, regional and international exhibitions.   Significant international exhibitions include the series five of exhibitions curated by Prabbeli Gallery, Co-operations in Luxembourg:  Friends and Lovers; Famous People; Abstract World; Catastrophes and Landscapes.  The five exhibitions featured original works by artists experiencing disability from a number of countries including: Germany; Ireland; Denmark; Japan and Australia.

Twelve works of Brisbane Outsider Artist Studio member, Peter Hughes, were purchased by the Museum of Everything in London for an international exhibition of Outsider Art shown for one month in the centre of London.  Peter Hughes was selected to be profiled as a key feature artist in this international exhibition.    This was a significant opportunity for Peter’s works to be viewed by an international audience and to receive positive reviews of his work in a number of UK art publications.
