Ties to Die for


These quirky ties by Chi Chi are certainly going to make you stand out in the office. Not one Chi Chi tie is ever the same. They are made from vintage ties that have been given a new life with either the word 'Chi Chi' or the word 'Like' stitched on them in Japanese hiragana. Come in to our [m]art store and explore the wide rande of colours and patterns that Chi Chi has to offer.

BIG SOUND at the artisan gallery outdoor stage!

Artisan was proud to partner with QMusic, Queensland's music industry development association, on BIG SOUND 2010, an urban music festival held in the heart of Fortitude Valley. BIG SOUND, one of Australia's most internationally focused music conferences, produces three days of panels, workshops and artist showcases for local, national and international music industry representatives.


Following on from the enormous success of 2009's showcase held in our car park, artisan again provided an outdoor venue for BIG SOUND 2010 – The artisan Gallery Outdoor Stage.

Below are some photographs from the very successful BIG SOUND 2010.
