Moreton Bay City Council will run its free creative program, Joy Connection 2025, from February to October.

Mayor Peter Flannery says the program has “something for everyone, whether you’re an experienced artist or looking to just try something new”.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to explore your creative side, strengthen community connections, and celebrate the joys of artistic expression,” he adds.

“The program is designed to bring people together and these workshops are the perfect way for families to create, connect, and share unforgettable moments in a fun and welcoming environment.”
