Outdoor Gallery: Frazer Campbell exhibition ‘Portraiture in the Square’ at Town Square, Fish Lane Arts Precinct

Ongoing through Sunday, 11 October 2026

‘Portrait in the Square’ by Frazer Campbell is a pop-up exhibition presented in partnership between Brisbane City Council’s Outdoor Gallery and Fish Lane Arts Precinct. It will be on display from 5 August to 11 October 2026.

Frazer Campbell’s portraiture, installed in the vitrines at Fish Lane’s Town Square, offers a contemplative pause within one of Brisbane’s busiest urban corridors. The works draw out the layered depth of individual lives in a fast-paced city environment. These original artworks act as quiet anchors, reflecting personal histories and the universal human experience and inviting passersby to recognise fragments of their own stories in another’s gaze, gesture or posture.

Technically, Frazer's practice sits at the intersection of close observation and expressive mark-making, using layered surfaces and tonal nuance to suggest the complexity of identity.

Frazer Campbell is a Brisbane-based emerging artist known for his intense, emotionally charged portraits in oils and acrylics. Influenced by literature, film and music, his award-winning work explores identity and connection through colour, cinematic drama, and deep empathy, all shaped by his lived experience.

“I am intrigued by certain faces, especially expressions at the unhappier end of the emotional spectrum: existential angst, psychic dread.” — Frazer Campbell

Frazer Campbell is featured in Council’s latest Outdoor Gallery exhibition, AMPLIFY ME!, a celebration of Brisbane artists with lived experience of disability that showcases their work in accessible outdoor spaces across the city. Grounded in inclusive arts practice, the exhibition encourages collaboration and barrier-free creativity, supporting lasting connections, inclusion and social change across Brisbane’s cultural landscape.

AMPLIFY ME! is curated by Nicole Crosswell and runs from 21 November 2025 to 25 October 2026.

This program is part of Council’s Outdoor Gallery, which transforms Brisbane’s laneways, streets and car parks into imaginative spaces for everyone, showcasing art in light boxes, banners, vitrines and evening projections.

This program is delivered in partnership with Fish Lane Arts Precinct.

Artist in Residence: Renee Kire

Saturday, 3 October 2026, 10am – 5pm

Step inside an exciting new residency project that invites you to experience art in unexpected ways.

Artist in Residence Renee Kire takes over Museum of Brisbane’s entryway, transforming these spaces with a vibrant and dynamic mix of striking vinyl graphics and sculptural timber elements. These features create an immersive pathway that stretches across walls and ceilings, guiding you into the heart of the Museum.

Drawing inspiration from Minimalism while reinterpreting the movement through a contemporary feminist lens, Kire brings fresh attention to the often-overlooked contributions of women in the field. Bright, colourful and welcoming for all visitors, the artwork is both joyful and thought-provoking.

Responding directly to the architecture of the Museum, City Hall and the Brisbane cityscape, Kire’s design reveals unexpected connections between the built environment and abstract form. Repetition, rhythm and thoughtful details invite you to slow down, look closely and discover new perspectives.

MoB’s Artist in Residence program is supported by Tim Fairfax AC.

Museum of Brisbane is Brisbane City Council’s leading history and art museum where you can experience our city’s vibrant culture.

Audrey Gibbs Art Prize

Saturday, 3 October 2026, 10am – 3:30pm

Audrey Gibbs joined the Royal Queensland Art Society in 1983 and was recognised as a Fellow of the society in 2009. This exhibition explores genre artworks, one of Audrey’s great pleasures.

This exhibition focuses on Genre Artworks, one of Audrey's favourite themes to paint. Genre Artworks are those that depict ordinary people in everyday situations, both in the exterior and the interior. Rather than heroic or mythological subjects, these works celebrate the familiar: everyday people participating in domestic routines, work, leisure, social gatherings, and quiet moments of daily life.

The Royal Queensland Art Society is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.

Explore Brisbane’s colonial history on this guided tour through the city’s convict past.

Hear stories of convicts and commandants, revealing how punishment, labour and authority shaped daily life. Along the way, our guides bring the settlement into focus, illuminating the social fabric and living conditions, as well as the central role of the Brisbane River in sustaining the colony.

Woven throughout the tour are First Peoples’ responses to British settlement, their enduring connection to Country, and the Frontier wars that directly followed this era. Together, these intersecting stories offer a deeper understanding of how Brisbane grew from its earliest foundations into a regional centre.

Tour highlights include: The Windmill, The Brisbane Crest, The Petrie Tableau, Convict-built structures and surviving remnants, Miller Park and the Commissariat Stores, Queens Wharf and, the Brisbane River.

CANCELLED - Deinzel Morris - Book launch

Saturday, 3 October 2026, 11am – 12pm

*** This event has been cancelled *** Join local author Deinzel Morris on the Banyan Lawn as she launches her new book 'Holy Shigamoley, WTF Just Happened?' with the Brisbane public.

What happens when your life falls apart so completely that the only way forward is through the wreckage?

In Holy Shigamoley, WTF Just Happened?, Deinzel Morris opens the door to the wildest, darkest, funniest, and most transformational chapter of her life.

From closing a teaching business and stepping into a dangerous new world, to drugs, love, heartbreak, psychosis, hospital wards, spiritual signs, family bonds, and the long road back to herself, this memoir is a brutally honest account of what it means to break, survive, heal, and keep laughing through the chaos.

Told with raw humour, deep vulnerability, and no polished filter, this is not a story about having all the answers. It is a story about losing your mind, finding your truth, and learning that even in the messiest parts of life, love can still pull you home.

Messy. Dark. Funny. Honest. Human.

This is chaos, truth, love, and transformation - exactly as it happened.

Tejaswini Bhava Abhiyan

Sunday, 4 October 2026, 5 – 7pm

Tejaswini Bhava Abhiyan — A girls and women only event.

Tejaswini Abhiyaan is a community initiative organised by Shri Yog Vedant Seva Samiti, in association with the Mahila Utthan Mandal wing of Sant Shri Asharam Ji Ashram, with the aim of empowering girls and young women by nurturing confidence, positive thinking, inner strength, self-belief, and a strong sense of purpose.

The word Tejaswini describes a girl who embodies tejas (inner radiance), confidence, positivity, courage, self-esteem and inner strength. The initiative is founded on the belief that every girl possesses unique strengths, abilities and potential that can be nurtured and developed.

Just as a small seed contains the potential to grow into a magnificent tree, every individual has the potential for growth and excellence. In the same way, every girl has a Tejaswini within her. Tejaswini Abhiyaan seeks to encourage girls to recognise their strengths, discover their potential and develop the confidence to make a positive contribution to their families, communities and society.

Through educational, cultural, creative and community activities, the initiative promotes positive values, confidence, leadership, self-awareness, personal development and an appreciation of Indian cultural heritage, traditions and values.

The initiative provides an encouraging environment where girls can learn, participate, express themselves, develop their abilities and build confidence while connecting with cultural traditions and the wider community.
The vision of Tejaswini Abhiyaan is simple: to inspire every girl to discover, nurture and awaken the Tejaswini within her.

50 Plus: Clogging - Basic to easy-Intermediate

Monday, 5 October 2026, 8:45 – 10:15am

Clogging is an American folk dance from the Southern Appalachian Mountains, with ties to step dances from the British Isles, traditional dance of the Native Americans, and solo dances of African Americans. It was introduced to Australia in the 1980’s and there are dance clubs around the country.

Clogging shoes have double-taps which are used to create rhythms, and the heel of your clogging shoe is the timekeeper. But you don’t need clogging shoes to start dancing, leather-soled shoes with a low heel are ideal for beginners.

Clogging is cued, like square dancing or aerobics, and dancers learn steps, not routines. Cloggers dance to a variety of music including country, Irish and pop.

50 Plus: Bridge (Social)

Monday, 5 October 2026, 9am – 12pm

The game of bridge has two main parts: the bidding (also called the 'auction') and the play. You should learn the play first because it will give you a better sense of what the bidding means. In fact, learning the bidding first is a mistake and can be a turnoff to new players.

Bridge is a partnership game requiring four players. Each player sits opposite his partner at a card table (in this age of computers the concept could be a simulated).

Join us for at this session to socialise and play bridge.

50 Plus: Square dancing

Tuesday, 6 October 2026, 10:15 – 11:30am

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square, with one couple on each side, facing the middle of the square. Square dances were first documented in 17th century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe. They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there. In some countries and regions, through preservation and repetition, square dances have attained the status of a folk dance.

This requires a level of concentration and cognitive ability for participants to be able to follow some complex patterns that are required in square dancing.

The game of bridge has two main parts: the bidding (also called the 'auction') and the play. You should learn the play first because it will give you a better sense of what the bidding means. In fact, learning the bidding first is a mistake and can be a turnoff to new players.

Bridge is a partnership game requiring four players. Each player sits opposite his partner at a card table (in this age of computers the concept could be a simulated).

Join us for at this session to socialise and play bridge.

2026 Recovered Futures ArT Exhibition

Friday, 9 October – Wednesday, 14 October 2026

The Recovered Futures Art Exhibition has been a mainstay on the Brisbane art calendar for 35 years. Hosted in a grand marquee during Queensland Mental Health Week, the exhibition will return to King George Square from 9-14 October 2026.

This professionally curated exhibition showcases more than 250 artworks by artists with lived experience of mental health challenges, sharing powerful stories of recovery, resilience, and hope.

Every exhibiting artist in the Recovered Futures Art Exhibition has a lived experience of mental ill-health, either personally or through their roles as a carer or family member. Their artworks reflect powerful stories of resilience, recovery, and hope.

Artists receive 85 per cent of sale proceeds from each sale, ensuring they are directly supported through their creative work.

While Recovered Futures provides an important platform for artists to sell their work and gain recognition, its impact reaches far beyond the gallery walls. For many participants, the act of creating and exhibiting art is a vital part of their healing journey, offering empowerment, connection, and a voice through which to share their experiences of recovery.

The exhibition also plays a significant role in sparking meaningful conversations and challenging the stigma that too often surrounds mental health.

We hope to see you there!

From the ground up: Companion planting

Friday, 9 October 2026, 10am – 1:30pm

From the Ground Up is a five part workshop series on how to garden and grow plants sustainably. The methods and practices in the workshops are designed to restore and nurture the environment and to assist you in growing your garden harmoniously with nature. Each workshop is independent of the others and you do not need to attend them all.

This month’s workshop provides advice about combining plants and companion planting. Plants can be combined to be mutually beneficial to each other by providing natural pest repellent or fertiliser, acting as taste and growth improvers, or working as pollinator and beneficial insect attractants. The practical activity is making a take-home paper-pot garden using companion and seasonal plants.

Requirements: Please wear a hat and enclosed shoes; and bring a snack and keep cup or water bottle. This workshop is only available to participants 16 years of age or over.

Location: Meet at the Kitchen in the Garden.

This workshop supports the Botanic Gardens' commitment to creating a plant loving community dedicated to putting the 'plant back into planet'.

Live at MoB: Sachém Parkin-Owens

Friday, 9 October 2026, 6 – 8pm

Join a residency showcase of stories and sound.

Artist in Residence Sachém Parkin-Owens is a proud Noonuccal and African American artist whose practice spans visual art, poetry, music and public installation. Sachém’s residency has been a period of reflection and creative exploration, developing new music while considering the next evolution of his practice. Now, audiences are invited on that journey through an evening of songs, stories and works in progress shared for the first time.

“Performing is where I connect to people and myself the most. It almost creates this perpetual cycle of learning and re-learning lessons from the past because I’ve always spoken my truth.” – Sachém

Sharing new work alongside the stories and questions that shaped it, this intimate event offers a rare opportunity to experience a creative practice in motion – an honest exploration of where an artist has been, what they are leaving behind, and where they may be heading next.

“A phenomenal First Nations/ African American performer with a gift for creating connection, Sachém’s work is both hard-hitting and hopeful, an exceptional blend of unflinching honesty and hopefulness.” – scenestr

Ghost stories of South Brisbane Cemetery

Friday, 9 October 2026, 7:30 – 9:45pm

Dare to walk where shadows linger on our Ghost Stories of South Brisbane Cemetery tour - a torchlit journey into Brisbane’s haunted folklore and eerie legends that refuse to rest.

For generations, strange tales have stirred among these weathered stones. Now, we bring them to life with chilling accounts passed down by locals, grave-diggers, and curious night-time visitors. Along the way, you’ll hear about:

the ghostly Spectral Flower Girl
a silent soldier who never left
strange lights and phantom figures dancing in the dark
the infamous Lady in Black, mourning still
the real stories behind the cemetery’s most persistent myths
…plus a few surprises that just might raise the hairs on your neck!

Led by award-winning cemetery historian Tracey Olivieri and historical archaeologist-come-paranormal researcher Liam Baker, this tour offers a respectful, spine-tingling walk through the cemetery’s ghostly lore - blending fact, folklore, and a touch of the unexplained.

No theatrics. No tricks. Just real stories that haunt the South Brisbane night.

All of our tours are not-for-profit, with all money raised going to our cemetery history and maintenance projects.

Mastering Portraiture - Drawing Workshop with Dr Kay Kane

Saturday, 10 October 2026, 12 – 3pm

This workshop welcomes both newcomers and artists returning for a second (or third) time.

Whether you are building foundations or refining skills you already possess, the focus remains the same: portraiture drawing that is grounded in clear seeing, rather than photographic imitation.

This course follows the same format as Kay's workshop Fundamental Structure of the Human Head. At its core, the course treats the essential elements of all drawing—size, scale, shape, tonal relationships and spatial organisation—as equally vital.

You will practise selecting, organising and simplifying so that accurate, eloquent observation becomes second nature. This disciplined seeing is the necessary groundwork for any expressive interpretation of the human face but can equally be applied to subjects other than portraiture.

Throughout the five weeks, Dr Kane will teach these fundamentals to the group while also giving regular one-to-one feedback, so every participant—whether first-time or returning—receives personal guidance tailored to their stage of development.

Returning artists often discover that revisiting the same principles with individual attention reveals new layers of understanding and opens fresh possibilities for expression. New students gain a solid, structured pathway into portraiture. In both cases the aim is the same: to experience the living connection between structural understanding and expressive interpretation of the human visage.

Materials Supplied: Graphite, 2B/4B/6B Pencils, Plastic Ruler, Plastic Rubber, Heavy Cartridge Paper and Mixed Media Card.

PLEASE NOTE: The workshop will be held in the upstairs studio gallery which is only accessible via a flight of stairs.

Dr Kay Kane is a highly respected artist with 50+ years of art practice to her name and 45 years’ experience as a teacher in visual art – drawing and painting. Her 12 years tertiary education includes a Diploma of Fine Art, a BA in Fine Art Painting, (Both from Central St Martins Art College, London) as well as a PHD, Doctor of Visual Art, Queensland College of Art, Brisbane.
