Richard Randall Art Studio, Heritage art studio in Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Australia
The Richard Randall Art Studio is an art space with large windows, skylights, and polished wooden floors in a Victorian-style building located in Brisbane Botanic Gardens. The interior includes kitchen facilities and air conditioning to support creative work and gatherings.
The studio was built around 1900 as the home and workspace of Queensland artist Richard John Randall until his death in 1906 at age 37. It served as an important creative centre for a local artist in the early 1900s.
The place continues its original function as a working art space where exhibitions take place and local artists develop their practice. Visitors can see how the studio remains connected to the creative community of Queensland.
The space accommodates up to 50 visitors and requires booking at least five working days ahead. It is easily accessible within the botanic gardens and offers a quiet setting for viewing or hosting small events.
The building was relocated twice to preserve it: first to Musgrave Park in 1988 and then to its current location in Brisbane Botanic Gardens in 2007. These moves reflect efforts to safeguard the structure while giving it new life.
