Swap a coffee. Keep us orbiting.
ART NEEDS SPACE. AND RIGHT NOW, WE NEED YOU.
Your donation directly supports:
We know that caffeine hit helps fuel you, but perhaps today, you swap a coffee to help fuel and sustain the continuation of Outer Space.
For the first time in our story, we have achieved Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status - a milestone that allows your generosity to go further, supporting both the artists and our community. Now, every donation over $2 is tax-deductible, and when you donate before the end of financial year on 30 June 2025, you’ll automatically receive an email with a receipt to claim on your next tax return.
Art needs space. And right now, we need you.
Gift what you can give - the price of a coffee perhaps - and help continue creating spaces for artists and audiences to connect, through exhibitions, performances, professional development and conversations that challenge and inspire.
When you give, you’re not just supporting a gallery, you’re sustaining a platform that champions experimentation, risk-taking, and the independent voices that shape our cultural landscape.
This isn’t just about funding a space.
It’s about sustaining a platform that champions experimentation, risk-taking, and the independent voices that shape our cultural landscape.
It’s about supporting the visions that challenge, inspire, and disrupt. The dialogue of no one language.
It’s about giving opportunity to those who often exist outside of institutional boundaries.
WHO WE ARE
Outer Space is a not-for-profit contemporary arts organisation that collaborates with artists and arts workers to develop, make, and present critically engaged creative practice.
We’re building a creative community that thinks deeply, works inclusively, and reaches across local, regional, and global contexts.
WHAT WE DO
Our contemporary art gallery in Magandjin (Brisbane) has long been a place where artists and audiences connect, through exhibitions, performances, and conversations that challenge and inspire.
Almost of all of what we offer is FREE:
Complimentary exhibitions
Opening events
Public Programs, e.g., Artist Panel discussions and Artist performances
Artist development sessions, e.g., Crit Sessions (Industry professionals providing one of one artist feedback)
Industry Talks & Panels, e.g., Making of ‘Industry Professional’
WHY WE DO IT
To make contemporary art accessible to all.
WHY SUPPORT
When you give, you’re not just supporting a gallery, you’re sustaining a platform that champions experimentation, risk-taking, and the independent voices that shape our cultural landscape.
Behind the scenes, keeping this space open and thriving is no small task. We operate largely through grant funding, which is increasingly limited and competitive. Donations from our community play a crucial role in helping us remain open, support artists and continue the industry moving forward.
Many artists who’ve shown here speak of the gallery as a rare and necessary space - one that fosters connection, courage, and creative freedom. As they return with new work and fresh ideas, we ask for your help in making sure there’s still a stage to stand on. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation before June 30.
