Our Story: The Heart of Outside The Box
A journey from a small art gallery to a creative hub for Brisbane’s community — where art, gifts, coffee, and connection come together.
From Local Art to Everyday Joy
At Outside The Box, we began with a simple mission:to create a home for local artists. Our founder, Kazz, believed that art shouldn’t just hang on walls—it should be part of everyday life, sparking joy, conversation, and a sense of individuality.
That’s why we opened our doors as a gallery for Brisbane’s creatives, showcasing bold, quirky, and beautiful pieces that celebrate the artistic heritage ofNew Farm. We wanted to make people laugh, smile, and feel inspired—to see life a little differently, a little more Outside The Box.
The Gift Shop: Art for Your Life
As we grew, we realised people wanted more than just to admire art—they wanted to live with it. They wanted to make it part of their homes, their outfits, and their gifts. So we evolved into a carefully curated gift shop, filled with locally-made pieces that bring joy to everyday moments—playful accessories, quirky décor, and thoughtful, handcrafted treasures.
Every product we select is chosen with purpose: to help you bring a little bit of art, fun, and heart into your life. We believe in gifts that make people laugh, that spark a memory, and that inspire you to embrace life a little more Outside The Box.
The Gluten-Free Café: Healthy, Wholesome, and All About Community
The next chapter in our story? Our gluten-free barista café and health food haven—a natural extension of the Outside The Box vision. We saw a need in Brisbane: there just weren’t enough places offering all-gluten-free, wholesome, and delicious food in a creative, welcoming space.
So, we created a café where you can sip, snack, and connect—whether it’s over a specialty coffee, a nutrient-packed smoothie bowl, or a guilt-free treat. Our menu reflects our values: simple, nourishing ingredients, thoughtfully prepared. It’s a place where health and creativity collide, where you can relax, recharge, and feel part of a community that celebrates both wellness and joy.
We believe good food and good vibes go hand in hand—and we’re proud to share both with you.
More Than a Space: A Celebration of New Farm and Brisbane’s Spirit
Today, Outside The Box is more than a gallery, a gift shop, or a café—it’s a creative community hub that embodies the energy, passion, and artistic heritage of New Farm and Brisbane.
We’re proud to champion the artistic roots of New Farm and to infuse the spirit of Brisbane’s vibrant, creative cultureinto everything we do. Whether you’re an artist, a dreamer, a coffee lover, or simply someone looking for something a little different, you’ll always find a space here to connect, create, and feel inspired.
Come visit us. Let’s live life a little more Outside The Box—together.
