Grab your tickets to The Design Series final 2021 event: Designing with Country
TUESDAY 7th DEC, 2021 | 5:30-8:30pm
Ticket Price – $35, includes food & music
The Metropolitan (MET)

Designing with Country through architecture, placemaking and public art.

Troy Casey in conversation with Kevin O’Brien, Lyndon Davis, Erin McDonald. Together they will weave a narrative and share their experience in this emerging new Australian design ethos, one that responds to the essence of Country and its people.

Troy Casey – Co-Director Blaklash. Troy is passionate about harnessing economic opportunities to create positive social change for First Nations Australians. He combines his extensive community engagement experience spanning the government, not-for-profit and higher education sectors, with his curatorial practice, working collaboratively with communities to ensure First Nations voices are embedded across projects within public art, placemaking, and urban design.

Kevin O’Brien – Kevin O’Brien is an architect and principal at BVN Architecture. He has established a Designing with Country methodology for the practice that now influences all architectural and urban design projects. The most recent example being the QUT Campus to Country: Positioning Strategy that will guide the future direction of the campus and outlines QUTS’s aspiration of its place reflective of culture both past and present.

Erin McDonald – Erin is a proud Aboriginal woman who embeds her culture throughout the design process. She pushes the boundaries through a holistic approach in translating Indigenous technologies to embed cultural identity into the built environment. Erin is passionate about educating designers to think innovatively in an approach to provide economic growth for communities.

Lyndon Davis – Lyndon Davis is an Indigenous presenter, performer, educator and artist. Lyndon was born and raised on the Sunshine Coast and is a Traditional Custodian and representative of the Local Gubbi Gubbi / Kabi Kabi people.

As our final event of 2021, this will also double as our collective industry celebration! Bar open and operated by the Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance – profits direct to local art projects. ... See MoreSee Less

This time last week we were at Redcliffe Art Gallery celebrating the launch of a new product line: Moreton Bay First Nations Collection.

Our project partner, Aboriginal Art Co, engaged artists BJ Murphy, Sylvia Jones-Terare, Lyndon Davis and Jason Murphy, all with cultural connections to the region, to create a line of picnic products perfect for enjoying the unique landscape of Moreton Bay.

We are so proud of the collection which includes a carry bag, a blanket, a hat and a cushion. You can get your hands on these products (which will make great gifts 😉) at Redcliffe Art Gallery, Bribie Island Seaside Museum, Aboriginal Art Co and Open House Collective in the lead up to Christmas and beyond as stock allows.

After a stunning day at Dayboro, it’s time to head back to town as we’ve got a huge lineup waiting for your afternoon and evening in Brendale. Live and Local is finishing up strong with a last hoorah at @brendalebrewingco and @methodinktattoo.

Since 2016, Brendale Brewing has been making waves in the Moreton Bay Region as a go-to hotspot to catch up with mates and down a few cold beers. Supplying local, craft beer to patrons from Wednesday to Sunday, you can enjoy a rowdy night with the lads or grab a few quick drinks after work.

Your first thought of a brewery may not be that it’s a family friendly venue; however, Brendale Brewing like to challenge this concept. So all are welcome!

Amber Worthington and @bitmore_music will be playing live sets from 3:20 - 5:30pm.

Method Tattoo Coffee Bar is a Moreton Bay gem blending their unique mix of custom tattoos and speciality coffee. We’ll be going out with a bang here with live music from @therocknrollboys, @deonpowter and @blackstarmuso from 7 - 10pm.

Head inland for the day this Saturday and discover the gorgeous town of Dayboro with Live and Local. If you haven’t visited this historic village, you’ve been missing out, with heaps of quaint antique and craft shops, quirky cafes and historic buildings to explore.

@silverwoodcafe is your first stop and is attached to the historical Butter Factory. This cafe is a stunner with all its greenery and delicious bites to eat. The Butter Factory has many other local stores to visit as well. You can see @cassimariemusic, @saint.skirts, and @chrisahgee & @jazzellamusic playing from 8.30 - 11.30am.

@thedayborodrop is a new locally owned restaurant that is so proud to be supporting and showcasing Dayboro and surround's local produce.

Their mission is to provide Dayboro with a new venue serving high-quality food & drinks for all those that wish to combine a fun and enjoyable atmosphere with creative cooking into one amazing dining experience.

You’ll be able to catch @billierose.copeland, @tayiha.official and @phoebexxlouise playing at Dayboro Drop from 11:30am - 2:30pm

Grab some lunch and an afternoon brew at any of these awesome Samford venues. If you time it right, you can make it to each one (that is if you don’t get too comfortable enjoying the hospitality and stellar tunes).

@cafe.lagarto - 10am - 12pm
@hellojanemusic and @thekindlyravens
Cafe Lagarto can be found nestled in the Lifestyle Centre, only minutes drive from the Samford Village Centre, on Mount Glorious Road.

Fabulously peaceful surrounds, exceptional coffee, food and drinks make our cafe the perfect place to kick back and relax. Our menu changes seasonally, just to give you an extra reason to keep coming back to visit us (in case the beautiful location, fun farm walk, great food and coffee, and other businesses to visit weren’t enough to turn you into another one of our regular visitors).

Barnacles & Brew - 11.30am - 1.30pm
More than just Fish and Chips, Barnacles and Brew are serving up quality, fresh, local Australian seafood in the beautiful Samford Valley. And if you’re more of a sweet tooth? Try their delectable artisan gelato. You can catch young guns and Creative Alliance faves @ZoeQuinnmusic and @joshcrawfmusic here.

@MarketBurgersamford - 11.30am - 1.30pm
@Radioceans_band and @JackLorrymusic
Market Burgers’ motto is "Shop Local. Eat Local. Spend Local"… why not add "Listen Local" to the mix?

Powerhouse @amykatemusic has programmed a massive day at Samford this Saturday. You’ll agree with us when we say this is a gig-hopping dream!

Start the day early with these venues that will be showcasing local talent throughout the morning. Hot tip: book ahead to avoid disappointment:

@colliesandco - 8.30am - 12.30pm
Collies and Co is a great dog-friendly, family owned cafe located in the heart of Samford Village dishing up brekky and lunch. Home to the Puppy Cuddle Dine-In experience, sadly you’ll have to wait a couple more months for the next litter of puppies, but you’ll enjoy this Samford gem regardless. Catch @vixens.of.fall, @annaandjordanmusic, @elburymusic and @lucidsafari here.

@littletreesamford - 9am - 2pm
Tucked away in the northern end of Samford Village, Little Tree Bake and Brew House offers the best of the best in artisan bakery goods and cafe dining.

Little Tree are committed to sourcing and incorporating local and sustainable produce into their seasonal offering. Everything on the menu is bespoke, made from scratch in their kitchen and very own bakery.
You can enjoy listening to @freighttrainfoxes,
@vanlarkins, @cheynestarkie and @basokimusic here.

@dropoutespresso - 9am - 12pm
If there’s one thing these folk know, it's muffins (if you follow their feed, you’ll know what we’re talking about - drool). But the goods don’t stop there, this Samford fave located on Main Street serves up delicious meals and drinks every day of the week.

Head here this Saturday to see @gabriellekerrmusic, @lrmarshofficial and @kelseyberrington.
Ps. It’s L.R. MArsh’s LP launch so you might be able to pick up an album as well.

Redlands Coast has some fantastic venues for live music, and we have five to share with you that you can visit this weekend for Live and Local:

The Green @thebeerbench - Friday 3 - 8pm
Touted as the first craft beer bar in Cleveland, four best mates are behind this local gem. Imagine walking into an old brick venue with steel beams overhead and being welcomed by your first name, given a selection of amazing flavours currently available off tap or given the option to hand pick your bottle of craft beer, cider or fine wine. This is the ambience and experience The Bench can offer.

@fiction_bar - Saturday 1 -3pm
Located right in the very heart of the Raby Bay harbour in Cleveland, Fiction Bar is the ideal location to sit back, relax and enjoy the views of the water.

Whether meeting friends for after work drinks, unwinding with weekend lunch or a 'can't be bothered to cook' evening, the choices on offer at Fiction Bar are extensive.

@theanchorbythebay - Saturday, 3-5pm
In history, putting down an anchor has represented the safe end to a long journey. Like an anchor, we hope that our restaurant will help keep you, your friends, and family from drifting away, and act as a marker guide to your secret meeting place.

@twilightmakersmarket - Saturday 4 - 8pm
The Twilight Makers Market located in Cleveland on the boardwalk of the Raby Bay Harbour, is a monthly market featuring creative and handmade goods by local artisans.

The Cleveland Twilight Makers Market is held from 4pm to 8pm once a month and is a great outing for the whole family.

@binary_music - Sunday 9am - 1pm
Binary Music is located at Shop 12 Cleveland Plaza, 48 Bloomfield St Cleveland and offers our full range of music software, hi-tech, guitars, ukuleles, amplifiers, keyboards, digital pianos, violins, band instruments, sheet music, giftware and accessories. We specialise in the education and hobbyist fields, and are dedicated to providing the best solutions for all your music needs

Get out this weekend and #supportyourlocal. All events are free but it’s work booking a table at the bars and restaurants. Hope to see you all there!

@apollonianhotel 11.30am-1.15pm
A little piece of gold rush history at Boreen Point. Aptly named after the Greek god of music, it was previously a music hall hotel for the gold rush miners and one of the last remaining in the country. The Apollonian still lives up to its name, hosting regular live gigs and events.

@zabe_espresso_bar 12-1.45pm

@landandseabrewery 6.30-8.30pm
Makers of the finest beer, handcrafted using premium ingredients & quality local sunshine. More than a brewery, we create products that are inspired by, celebrate and compliment the area we live in and days well spent; which is why they're a perfect venue for live, original music gigs!

@mrdrifterspicetrade 8-10pm
Mr Drifter is all about the spice trades; specialising in street foods from India to Indonesia. Our cocktail bar is a modern twist on Tiki. Born out of a sense of adventure, Mr Drifter delivers Asian street food with a hint of cocktail culture.

@villagebicyclenoosa 9.30-11.30pm
Village Bicycle Noosa brings to Noosa Junction a new, fun, good vibes local bar. Where the beer's always cold, the food's always tasty & the vibe's always relaxed. Live&Local sure will bring a buzz, adding prime local talent to an already great venue!
