    Thu 21 May 2026 - Fri 27 Nov 2026

    Event description

    We are excited to announce that the Living My Best Life Art Exhibition will tour the state.

    The touring exhibition is a partnership with Libraries Tasmania and will showcase the work of 19 emerging, mid-career and established Tasmanian artists with disability.

    This touring exhibition is free, and everyone is welcome to attend.

    About the exhibition

    Living My Best Life Art Exhibition celebrates the creativity and individuality of Tasmanians with disability. Artists from across the state explore what it means to live their best life in ways that are meaningful to them. It reminds us that a good life looks different to everyone.

    Artworks range from quiet and contemplative to bold and expressive, across diverse artistic practices such as printmaking, writing, music, painting, photography, design, digital media, sculpture, and textiles.

    As you experience the exhibition, we invite you to reflect on what living your best life means to you, and how we can shape a more inclusive Tasmania where everyone can thrive.
