Description:

Season Five of Interview With An Artist is Gallery Directors from around Australia.


Side Gallery is small but mighty. 

Based in Brisbane on the land Yuggera and Turrubul people, Leesa Hickey and Laura Brinin are taking their gallery in the suburbs from strength to strength. 

Leesa started with Designfront, a branding visual communication consultancy specialising in branding, literature and design for the web. In 2015 Side Gallery came to life, running alongside Designfront. Today the sister companies form a one stop shop providing their artists with a range of support other galleries have to outsource. 

In today’s episode we talk about:

  • When Laura joined the gallery how Laura and Leesa are the perfect work wives for running a gallery

  • The Brisbane art scene and it’s trajectory

  • The power of being small and agile and the direction of the gallery for 2023

  • The different offering Side Gallery and Design front offer their artists

  • The relationship between the old guard galleries and newcomers like Side Gallery
