Nolan School of Art is enjoying its third decade of educating locals and visitors in art through weekly classes for adults and children and private tuition. Art events are held here as well, with staff training sessions, arty parties and lighthearted hens nights.
Two of Off Centre‘s partners work in different but complimentary mediums (jewellery and painting).
Off Centre offers a regularly updated display of unique works together with a Microgallery supporting the work of local emerging artists.
Brands include Smitten, Merino Mink, Hedrena, Snowi, Fields Knitwear, Bridge and Lord and St Albans, and an extensive range of woollen and natural fibre designs by local fibre artisans.
Spacebar Gallery opened its doors in December 2010 and has continued to support emerging, mid-career and established artists, proudly promoting locally made art and design to returning locals and visitors.
Spacebar Gallery never fails to delight its visitors, showcasing a diverse range of high quality locally made contemporary jewellery, clothing, accessories, quirky ceramics, original artworks, greeting cards, sustainable food packaging and homewares.
State of Flux Workshop is a flexible, collaborative workshop and retail space run by its members. Our vision is to create a hub for connection, support and engagement within the community of contemporary art and jewellery in Tasmania.
Our four members, Jane Hodgetts, Anna Weber, Emma Bugg and Gabbee Stolp work in studio on their independent contemporary jewellery and object practices. The workshop provides an industrious space for each of the members to work and sell their own pieces and to connect personally with their customers.
State of Flux Workshop aspires to act as a conduit to the broader national and global community of contemporary jewellery and object makers by creating connections and engaging with other artists, workshops and galleries as well as hosting exhibitions and artist talks from local, interstate and international artists and makers.
All works are created onsite and sold onsite, including paintings (watercolour, oils) on small and large canvases, pyrography on wood and items of reclaimed furniture, prints, cards, books, calendars, and mosaics in ceramic, glass and marble.
Jon’s work can also be seen in the Phone Box Gallery in the Morrison Arcade (Ground Floor) of Salamanca Arts Centre.
And from then has been producing high quality, original, unique works of fashion clothing and accessories from natural fibres – with a distinct Tasmanian feel.
