What Our Members Say About Us…
Here’s the Launceston Art Society testimony about being a member of Art Trails Tasmania:
The Launceston Art Society is pleased to offer this testimonial in appreciation of the ongoing support and promotion we have received from Art Trails Tasmania.
Since having our workshops promoted by Art Trails Tasmania, we have seen a significant increase in ticket sales and public engagement.

In addition to the promotional benefits, being a member of Art Trails Tasmania has allowed us to build valuable relationships with fellow artists. We have successfully sourced highly skilled workshop facilitators from among Art Trails Tasmania members—artists whose professional standards and creative insights have greatly enriched our workshop programme.
We are also delighted to note a positive growth in our membership base, with new members joining the Launceston Art Society after discovering us through Art Trails Tasmania. This has brought fresh energy and diverse perspectives to our community, which is vital to our ongoing development and sustainability.
Overall, our association with Art Trails Tasmania has proven to be of great benefit to the Launceston Art Society, enhancing both our visibility and our capacity to deliver quality arts experiences to our members and the public.
