Brisbane’s streets are telling new stories – and all you have to do is follow the trail.
Brisbane City Council’s latest Outdoor Gallery exhibition AMPLIFY ME! turns the CBD into an open-air exhibition, where art and architecture come together across laneways, heritage sites and unexpected urban spaces. Running until 25 October 2026, it’s a free, self-guided experience designed to help you see the city differently.
AMPLIFY ME! celebrates local Brisbane artists with a lived experience of disability, showcasing their artwork in accessible outdoor spaces across the city. Grounded in inclusive arts practice, the exhibition encourages collaboration and barrier‑free creativity. It supports lasting connections, inclusion and social change across Brisbane’s cultural landscape.
Available for everyone to admire, the easily accessible trail brings artwork out of traditional gallery settings and into everyday life. As you explore, you’ll notice how each installation interacts with its surroundings – revealing new layers of Brisbane’s built environment.
