Sunbird Collage with Townsville CityLibraries

Join Citylibraries at our interactive “Sunbird collage” station where children and parents can work together to create a vibrant free-standing artwork. Participants will have an opportunity to create an artwork that highlights the patterns of local leaves, trees, bark, flowers, local birds and their feathers. No bookings required – just drop in and create!

Art Snack Café a la Cart with Allan Tulloch

​Alan Tulloch extends his innovative dry-media print performances and installations through his Art Snack Café - a la Cart(e). The artist dons toque blanche and checkered pants to become Art Chef, cooking up not-so-normal cuisine in the form of threatened-to-extinct Townsville animals. Menu items appear in a flash, printing enticing and malleable images on patrons’ hands using powdered charcoal.

Make your own Traceless Pen

Bottle caps are one of the most common items of litter found in our natural environment - come visit the TCC Resource Recovery team and turn these hard to recycle items into a traceless pen. Through shredding, melting, and extruding, you will turn a handful of bottle lids into a refillable, recyclable, pen!

Flora Sculptures with Rochelle Morris

​Watch as exhibiting artist, Rochelle Morris, creates an artwork with mulched flowers and leaves. Don’t be afraid to get a bit messy and join in!

Please note this is an outdoor event, remember to be sun safe and bring along water, sunscreen and a hat! Find us at Strand Park and Main Beach. See you soon!
