Art and the Gold Coast doesn’t go hand in hand? You must be looking in the wrong area. Today we are letting you in on a little secret of hidden art galleries around the Gold Coast that are absolutely killing it in the local creative scene.

The Walls
Think of an art gallery, then throw that thought right out the window. Welcome to The Walls. This unassuming warehouse off the Gold Coast highway at Miami is a contemporary art space run by artists. The very life force of this space is to provide artists with an opportunity to innovate and experiment. Don’t expect the norm, this space is set to push the boundaries and present new interactions and new ideas about what art is.

19Karen
Hidden in the back streets of Mermaid Beach, 19Karen is a treat for your eyes and your senses. Dedicated to showcasing emerging artists from all over the world – you can find street art, pop, surrealism and everything in between. This gallery is a definite highlight and shouldn’t be missed.
