ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Council is exploring ways we can bring you the best cultural experiences through our galleries, libraries, museums and events.

'Vibrant communities' is a key focus of our 2022-2027 Corporate Plan. This means we're committed to ensuring our cultural facilities, services and programs are both valuable and accessible to our communities.

Through our Moreton Says surveys we have learned a lot about your thoughts toward our arts and cultural programs. We heard that you enjoy arts and culture in all its forms, however, there are some barriers to you participating in these types of offerings.

The Creative Communities Engagement Program, led by local artists, was developed to better understand how we can continue to deliver arts and cultural experiences that excite and inspire you.

Community Consultation

From April to June 2023, several free events designed to excite and inspire all ages were delivered throughout Moreton Bay. Council spoke to community members to find out about the experiences you have loved, or ones you’d like to see more of.

You can read about what we heard in the Engagement Summary Report.

I would love to see more of hand crafted merchandise. Like the Aboriginal or Torres Strait’s products that can be made or used fashionably.

Better access to information- the website is terrible for looking up what’s on. Stuff outside of the galleries and in communities.
