In the centre of the frame sit two people in conversation. They are sitting on stairs that fill the whole frame. The stairs are painted in yellow, oranges and dark reds, in an abstract pattern like a snake

Ever wanted to make art with a professional muralist? Now’s your chance!

As a part of City of Moreton Bay’s Art At Large program, we’ve commissioned 3 First Nations artists to unleash their creativity on our sidewalks. These artists will have their own dedicated space to create footpath murals at one of our three museums.

Before our museums get a fresh burst of creativity, you’re invited to meet the artists shaping it, share stories and get hands-on with a fun creative activity.

These free creative workshops are packed with culture, colour and conversation. You'll hear about the artist’s creative journey and take part in a fun, hands-on art activity. There will also be time to share your own stories and memories that contribute to the sense of place these artworks celebrate.
