Artisan is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting and promoting contemporary craft and design practice for both makers and their audiences. Artisan began its legacy in 1970 and has, for almost 50 years, been the home of craft and design in Queensland.

We share, celebrate and offer advocacy for Australian practitioners with exhibitions, events, workshops, and the Artisan store. Artisan enriches cultural life in Queensland by harnessing creative and commercial opportunities, and collaborates with organisations, businesses and the broader community.

Artisan is the official retailer of the limited edition Brisbane Open House tote bag
