Outdoor Gallery: CityCat and artist tour with Sandy Harvey, part of ‘Living Observatory’ exhibition

Join artist Sandy Harvey for a special twilight CityCat cruise through Brisbane, visiting several Brisbane City Council Outdoor Gallery locations including Harvey’s featured photography works.

Hear from Harvey about her practice and her approach to noticing the world around us, with simple tips and tricks for seeing potential photographs in everyday surroundings, whether you’re using a camera or your phone.

As we travel along the Brisbane River, keep an eye out for the wildlife and natural life that exists alongside our inner-city environment, and discover a different way of experiencing Living Observatory and Brisbane’s Outdoor Gallery.

Meeting point: Meet at the South Bank Ferry terminal. Participants will be required to pay for their CityCat tickets as part of the tour.

About the Outdoor Gallery:

This program is part of Council's Outdoor Gallery exhibition Living Observatory. Living Observatory transforms Brisbane City Council’s Outdoor Gallery into a city-wide celebration of nature, discovery and our connection with the environment.

Brisbane’s outdoor lifestyle and subtropical environment are an important part of what makes our city special. We share our neighbourhoods with an incredible variety of wildlife, from birds and insects in our backyards and parks to marine life in the Brisbane River and Moreton Bay.

Curated by Michelle Brown, Living Observatory encourages us to slow down, look more closely and notice the natural world around us. It invites people to think about the plants, animals and ecosystems that are part of everyday life, and how we can better understand and care for them.

Living Observatory runs until 11 April 2027 and is part of World Science Festival Brisbane 2027, presented by Queensland Museum.
