Artwork on foreshore footpaths

Council commissioned nine local artists to create vinyl public artworks for nine different sections of concrete footpath along the foreshores in our region from Bongaree to Woody Point.

The nine artists responded to these curatorial themes:

natural environments along the Moreton Bay foreshore
built environments in proximity to the foreshore
experiences of the bay.

Each artwork spanned 25 metres. The artwork display ended June 2023.
