Mindful Art Mornings invites early risers to the Museum before opening hours for a gentle, guided moment of pause.

Within the calm of the gallery, this rotating program offers an artist-led mindful experience designed to help you reset, reconnect and ease into the day ahead.

After the session, linger over a light morning tea, with space for quiet conversation and reflection.

MoB is more than a museum—it is a place for the people, a portal to our past, and a mirror to contemporary life. Make Mindful Art Mornings your restorative midweek ritual in the heart of the city.

Session Details

9 & 30 September: Hands on Country with Nadine McDonald-Dowd

Settle in and let your hands meet the textures of Country. Guided by Nadine McDonald-Dowd of Blak Botanics, you are invited to gather florals and botanicals into a small arrangement of your own, drawing on flora and natural materials as a visual reminder and calm intention to take into your day. There is no right way to begin. Simply slow down, notice colour and form, and let the pieces guide you. A grounding, sensory way to connect with the beauty and diversity of plants and to carry a little of that stillness into your day.

16 & 23 September: Paper, Pattern, Pause with Renee Kire

Step into the world of Brisbane sculptor Renee Kire, whose practice plays with colour, geometric form and the quiet joy of minimalist arrangement. In this gentle hands-on session, you're invited to build your own compositions from simple paper cut-outs, layering shapes and colour into patterns of your own making. Follow a softly guided path or work freely. There's nothing to get right. Let your hands lead as you explore rhythm, balance and repetition, translating the language of Renee's sculptural work into something small and entirely yours. A meditative, tactile way to ease into the day. No experience required.
