Exhibitions

One of the best things in life is getting along to an art and crafts exhibition. Getting along to exhibitions is a perfect way to bring more creativity into daily life and make holidays memorable.

Whether you’re a participating artist, an arts industry worker, a fellow artist or a fabulous supporter, exhibitions are fabulous sources of inspiration for all of us.

Something I love to do is plan road trips and holidays around exhibitions, workshops and classes, art retreats and open studio trails.

So I hope you find the perfect event here. Some will be annual or seasonal, others will always have something on, just think of places like the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and MONA in Hobart and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston.

Here you’ll be able to find more of the grass roots exhibitions organised by passionate artists across goregous towns and villages.
