On a February day in 1881, something remarkable happened right here. The Brisbane School of Arts, now known as the Griffith University Queensland College of Art, officially began its journey. This wasn’t just the start of an institution. It was the spark of an artistic legacy that continues to burn bright today. Initially housed in a building originally designed as servants’ quarters on Ann Street, the Griffith University Queensland College of Art quickly grew, becoming a beacon for creative minds. By 1976, it marked a milestone by offering Queensland’s first Diploma of Arts course, reflecting its commitment to nurturing artistic talent. The year 1992 brought another significant change when the Griffith University Queensland College of Art became an integral part of Griffith University. This union expanded its horizons, allowing it to flourish as one of Australia’s most comprehensive visual arts programs. Today, the Griffith University Queensland College of Art stands as a testament to its rich history, a place where creativity knows no bounds.
