Best Place to Sell Art in Brisbane CBD (2026 Guide)

25 September 2026  ·  6 min read

The best place to sell art in Brisbane CBD in 2026 is a platform that keeps pace with the city's growth, because Brisbane's population, construction, and corporate sector have expanded rapidly and the demand for original art in new commercial and residential developments has grown with it.

Brisbane's growing corporate art market

Brisbane's CBD has seen significant growth in commercial towers, hotels, and premium apartment developments, all of which regularly commission or purchase original art for public and private spaces. This demand is a genuine opportunity for Queensland artists, but it is not always well served by the traditional gallery model, which was built around a smaller, more established Brisbane art scene.

What does gallery representation cost in Brisbane?

Commission at Brisbane CBD galleries generally sits within the same 40% to 60% range as the rest of the country. On national marketplaces, the same figures apply - Bluethumb at 40% inclusive of GST, Saatchi Art at 40% - regardless of whether the artist is based in Brisbane or anywhere else.

Where should Brisbane artists sell online instead?

Solene Haus charges $29 AUD a month with zero commission, giving Brisbane artists the same national and corporate reach as artists in Sydney or Melbourne, without paying more to be seen. Equal rotation means a Brisbane-based artist is shown as fairly as an artist in any other city.

Reaching Brisbane's corporate and hospitality buyers

Brisbane's hotel and hospitality sector, boosted by the city's ongoing development, is an active buyer of original Australian art. A platform with a direct corporate brief desk lets Brisbane artists reach these buyers without a gallery intermediary taking a cut of the introduction.
