The Youth and Family Program presents an exciting infusion of creative experiences to Winter Light 2022, utilising the arts as a creative tool to showcase the talents and share the voices of our young Tasmanians while embracing and celebrating diversity!

From Tasmanian youth voices envisaging Utopia Now!, creating the basis of a youth theatre production and a large scale immersive art installation; co-created and mentored by eight local artists plus LGBTQIA+ Youth QT Kids showcasing their performative gifts to the visiting interstate award winning Don’t Mess With The Dummies children’s show and circus workshops…phew!…there is a lot on offer for families to get out and embrace their creative curiosities this Wintertime!

The Venue | The Founders Room

Salamanca Arts Centre is a multi venue organisation that showcases theatre, music and visual art and is based in nipaluna/Hobart on Salamanca Place.

In January 2022, Salamanca Arts Centre launched a live music program focused on showcasing original music and was developed in collaboration with promoters from diverse scenes and communities. As part of this program there are recurring events including Archive, Jazzamanca curated by Ted Vining, QT Cabaret produced by Hera Fox and PROTEM curated by Lucien Simon and Sam Dowson.

This new program is a welcome boost to the local live music scene ensuring there is a place for audiences to watch and listen to original Tasmanian music at a time when the music scene in Tasmania has never been so vibrant, eclectic and engaging.

Open Sky / Kelly’s Garden is a new and exciting program of curated exhibitions and events presented by Salamanca Arts Centre. This program encourages artists to explore the notions of place and the role of art in the public realm.

The 2022 Program has been curated by Ainslie Macaulay.
