Creative workshop with artist Manuel Moreno Guirao

Next date: Saturday, 17 January 2026 | 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM

Manuel is being commissioned to create a new artwork for the City of Moreton Bay’s Outdoor Gallery at Morayfield Sport and Events Centre.

Manuel will facilitate a workshop that invites participants to connect with the city’s visual and cultural history.

His art explores collective memory and possible futures by reinterpreting historical photos. In this workshop, participants will create a collage that represents the values of sport:

• belonging
• effort
• fair play
• inclusion.

They’ll bring these values to life using a mix of images, pencils, pastels, and charcoal.
