You’re Invited to attend the Launceston Art Society’s “Inspirations” Exhibition

The Launceston Art Society proudly presents “Inspirations”, a community art exhibition showcasing the diverse talents of local members, with visitors invited to vote for their favourite work.

“Inspirations” is a unique exhibition by the Launceston Art Society, hosted at Legacy House.

The opening event will be held on Friday 10 October at 1pm.

• $250 framing from Art Stretchers, and
• $125 in art supplies from the Launceston Art Centre,
• as well as the Margaret Baker Award, chosen by a representative.

Exhibition Showcasing Diverse Members’ Works

The exhibition will feature the work of members of the Launceston Art Society, a collective of diverse artists with a shared passion for creativity.

These members range from emerging artists experimenting with new techniques to established creatives whose work has already found recognition.

Each artist brings their own unique background, influences, and interpretations of the theme “Inspirations.”

The result is an exhibition that highlights the strength and diversity of the region’s artistic community.

By showcasing a variety of perspectives and talents, the Launceston Art Society aims to engage viewers with authentic, locally created art that reflects both individual inspiration and the broader Tasmanian spirit.

A Wide Variety of Mediums and Styles in the Exhibition

The “Inspirations” exhibition will feature a wide variety of mediums and styles, reflecting the breadth of creativity within the Launceston Art Society.

Visitors can expect to see paintings in oil, acrylic, and watercolour, alongside drawing and mixed media works.

The theme allows artists to explore what personally motivates or inspires them, resulting in an exhibition that is both diverse and thought-provoking.

Traditional landscapes and portraits may sit alongside bold contemporary pieces or abstract expressions, giving visitors a true sense of the range of talent within the society.

This variety ensures that there is something for everyone to enjoy and connect with, making the exhibition an accessible and enriching cultural experience for all.
