Tasmania feels like the place for artists. Artists are embraced. They find inspiration locally and internationally and it all collides to this happy place. A place I wish I could be a part of, but I can’t. Fortunately for us it seems the people of Tasmania want us to know what’s happening around there. They provide a ton of resources. Here are a few examples:
Handmark Gallery
They bring Tasmanian artists to other parts of the world. Their talent works in areas such as paintings, ceramics, glass, and so much more. Here’s are two great samples: (Click on the individual images to go right to the artists specific page at the Handmark Gallery.)
Design Centre > Tasmania
The beauty of the Design Centre Tasmania is described within it’s own mission:
The Design Centre strives to:
- Sustain the wood design industry in Tasmania
- Inspire Tasmania and the world with an understanding of the potency of design
- Create an identity for Tasmania as a place of excellence in the world.
Don’t you wish you lived there? I do. Here is an example of one of their artists. Peter Costello born, raised and educated in Tasmania.
