Come Along to Open Studio Days

Open studio sessions are the perfect way to explore your curiosity about art without pressure. If you’ve ever wanted to try creating but didn’t know where to begin, this is your invitation to step in and start with the Launceston Art Society.

Each month offers a relaxed, welcoming space designed for beginners and creatives of all levels. There’s no expectation—just room to experiment, learn, and enjoy the process.

Come along to create, connect, and unwind in a friendly studio environment that encourages expression and discovery.
