At Sixes and Sevens is a unique public art space located at 67 James Street in Brisbane's trendy Fortitude Valley. The installation features a collection of whimsical sculptures, colorful murals, and interactive pieces set in a landscaped courtyard. Created by local artists, the space invites visitors to explore, take photos, and enjoy the playful juxtaposition of art and everyday life. The name refers to the concept of being 'at sixes and sevens', a state of confusion or disarray, which is reflected in the eclectic mix of objects and styles. It's a free, open-air gallery that changes over time as new works are added. The surrounding James Street area is known for its boutiques, cafes, and design studios, making it a perfect stop for a leisurely afternoon.
