West: Out on the Edge On Tour

On the edge of an island at the edge of the world lies a distinctive, complex and compelling place – Tasmania’s west. It occupies a unique position within the state, and within the Tasmanian imagination and psyche. It may be isolated by its extreme terrain but it is strengthened by its history and community. This unique region is the subject of TMAG's exhibition West: Out on the Edge, which we are proud to be touring west in 2021, supported by the Tasmanian Community Fund.

It is a condensed version of the exhibition that was on display in Hobart and shortlisted for a 2020 Museums and Art Galleries National Award. Visitors to this version of the exhibition will be able to discover the west and the people and places that make it tick. A highlight is a commissioned audio-visual work that tells the First Peoples’ origin story connected to the west.

West: Out on the Edge will be on show at the following venues:

  • Queenstown: West Coast Community Services Hub, 19 January - 5 March 2021
  • Rosebery: Rosebery Library, 10 March - 25 March 2021
  • Zeehan: West Coast Heritage Centre, 30 March - 30 May 2021
