The east coast of Tasmania is set to light up with the ‘Bay of Fires Winter Arts Festival’ from 9 to 11 June, in a wide-reaching celebration of the arts. A dynamic program of exhibitions, craft, live music, performance, workshops, a writers studio and two-day Arts Market provides a platform for emerging artists, artisans and craftspeople to present their work and tell their stories. Festival highlights include the ‘Bay of Fires Art Prize and Exhibition’ and ‘Youth Art Prize’, both on show at Tidal Waters Resort, St Helens. Nine studios across Binalong Bay, Akaroa, Scamander, Four Mile Creek and St Mary’s will be open to the public with the work of 17 local artists on show and for sale.
