STILL LIFE βΆ Studio Maverik curates still-life installations using found & made objects, creating a sensory platter to draw from. Installations are crafted to evoke the essence of a theme or story, creating an immersive space to observe and create within. LIFE DRAWING βΆ Studio Maverik cultivates gently social, encouraging and atmospheric Brisbane life drawing sessions that all people can attend + enjoy. ART EVENTS βΆ We curate various one-off art events, such as exhibitions + markets, so keep an eye out.
FORM 2026 βΆ Studio Maverik is curating a showcase of artwork exploring the human figure, βFORMβ. We encourage artists of all experience levels to apply, from first-time exhibitors through to more established artists. The exhibition will be held at Side Gallery in Red Hill on 10-11 April 2026.
βΆ The purpose of this show is to bring together local artists for a community-minded exhibition, offering a platform for emerging to established artists alike to exhibit recent artwork surrounding this complex and enduring theme. Curated by Studio Maverik, we look forward to bringing together a diverse group of artists to showcase their work to the public, meet one another and enjoy an opening evening full of art + conversation.
