Town Square Vitrines

Three vitrines, located in the urban tropical oasis of Town Square, host an annual program of six artists exploring different mediums, cultures and expressions. Workshops, In Conversations and Tours are programmed for each exhibit. Keep up to date through our newsletter.

Currently on display is the work of internationally acclaimed art and design duo, Craig Redman and Karl Maier, known worldwide for their bold, playful aesthetic that blends humour, striking patterns and vibrancy. Having met in Brisbane almost three decades ago before building global careers in New York and London, the pair have returned to their hometown to transform the city with their signature pop-art sensibility and vivid colour.

In Fish Lane, their signature style bursts to life across our train pillars, Town Square vitrines reimagined in rich hues and vibrant tones, and the Brisbane City Council Outdoor Gallery displays. Together these works reinvent the laneway into an open-air celebration of creativity.

What makes this takeover even more special is the way it brings people together. Locals and art enthusiasts are discovering a new side to Fish Lane, pausing mid-stroll to take photographs or gathering in front of the installations to point out intricate details. Visitors can also join walking tours linking Fish Lane to other key sites across the Craig and Karl Public Art Trail, offering a closer look at the artworks and sharing the stories behind nearly three decades of collaboration between the duo. More details about the walking tours can be found here.

Fish Lane’s involvement in this city-wide celebration places it firmly on the map as an artistic precinct that thrives on community and creativity. Whether you are strolling alone, gathering with friends, or joining a walking tour, the Craig and Karl takeover makes Fish Lane a vibrant destination where art spills beyond gallery walls and into the rhythm of everyday life.
