Creative workshop with The Culture Crusader and Bruce Ellem

Next date: Thursday, 15 January 2026 | 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM

Bruce is being commissioned to create new artwork for City of Moreton Bay's Outdoor Gallery at Pine Rivers Park.

The Culture Crusader and Bruce are hosting a workshop inviting locals to experience his artistic process.

The workshop will begin with fun drawing warm-ups to spark your creativity and help you see the world in new ways. Then, you’ll use that inspiration to design your own symbol that represents what City of Moreton Bay means to you.

Each creative artwork made by participants will join together to form a larger piece that celebrates our community.

About the facilitator

Bruce was born in 1953 with Down Syndrome and is a thoughtful artist who creates colourful drawings. His creations are filled with joyful shapes, patterns and imaginative creatures. Inspired by animals and prehistoric forms, Bruce's artwork celebrates creativity and connection.

His process is calm and focused, using many pens and pencils to build layers of colour and symbols. Bruce's art invites others to see the world through his unique and vibrant vision.
