Brisbane Illustration Fair

Brisbane Illustration Fair Hangout + Post-Event Drinks

Let’s check out the Brisbane Illustration Fair 2026 together and make a social afternoon of it! We’ll meet outside the venue, head in as a group, and spend some time exploring the fair—browsing art, chatting, and supporting local artists. There’s no strict structure inside, so you’re free to wander at your own pace and regroup as you like. After about 1–2 hours, we’ll head to a nearby café or bar to sit down, relax, and chat about our favourite finds.

Personal disclaimer:
I've run a number of meetups in the past (in Sydney) and attended many more (all over the world), and I have learned it best not to give anyone my phone number straight away. If you need help or are lost on the day, please use the comments section or send me a message using the meetup app. Also, I expect a level of common sense and independence of those attending these events. While I definitely want to be welcoming and help foster conversation, I won't be baby sitting anyone. At the end of the day, you need to be responsible for yourself - it's just a common courtesy so that everyone can have a good time. Thanks!
