What’s on at Libraries Tasmania in November

Do you love the feeling of walking into an art gallery, and being surrounded by colours and textures you’ve never seen up close before? Take the chance this spring to explore the exciting exhibitions and events happening at the library.

Our latest exhibition, Skying: Cloudscapes in Tasmanian Art opens at the Allport Library and Museum of Fine Arts on 11 November 2022. Tasmanian artist Tracey Cockburn explores the unique and ephemeral qualities of light and clouds in Tasmanian painting, through contemporary print techniques.

Please note that the Allport will be closed for exhibition preparation on 31 October and 1 November, and again on 7 and 8 November.

Join in as we open our doors for Open House Hobart at the State Library and Archives building. Bookings are essential.
