Launceston Tramway Museum is about a local Tasmanian community and the trams they used. The Museum evolved out of a restoration society in the 1990s that restored Launceston's only surviving double bogie tram. Located in the historic Inveresk Precinct, within walking distance of the CBD, the Museum features a workshop, a large modern display gallery and access to rail track running through the precinct. You can recapture Launceston's tramway past with a ride on our restored tram. Inside the museum, you can enjoy Launceston's oldest surviving movie footage and experience how the City changed with the introduction of the trams. You may wish to view the ultimate DIY project, the rebuilding of Launceston's very first tram, or discover whatever happened to the trams when you encounter one that had become a chook house. The Museum is adjacent to good parking, cafes and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. Open with tram rides on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Subject to weather and volunteer availability.

Sawtooth ARI is an artist-run initiative based near the banks of kanamaluka, lutruwita (Launceston, Tasmania). We are committed to servicing the community through the provision of a quality exhibition program. We showcase contemporary and experimental art by local, interstate and international artists at various stages of their professional career. At Sawtooth, we have four galleries. In 2022, the front gallery at Sawtooth has been transformed into a First Nations specific exhibiting space. 'First Space' is an ongoing place for First Nations peoples to share art, experiences, creations and their stories. We want to continually generate real change and support for the community, and to create further diversification within our exhibitions, to centre conversations through a First Nations lens. 'Inner Space' and 'Back Space' is dedicated to showcasing emerging/experimental practice. Our fourth gallery is 'The Space,' dedicated to our community.

A Tasmanian event exists that is slightly OFF centre; one where an unusual interlacing of agriculture and art is crafted into a program designed to disrupt. Centered around nature as our provider, something far greater and more powerful than us all, attending agriCULTURED enables the reclaiming of your own rhythm albeit in a wabi sabi world. There are moments when stories can only be felt, rather than told and this festival offers a physical and metaphorical journey through the agricultural landscapes of northern Tasmania. Bespoke performances see the language of music and creativity translate into not just an exhibit of sorts, but a moment and one where those who stand beside us become more than just fellow attendees, but friends. Knowledge is power and agriCULTURED eventgoers have the opportunity to absorb expertise from the driving forces behind sustainability and food innovation within the agri-food sector. Rewild yourself and return home motivated by innovation, opportunity and encouraged to pursue it the Tasmanian way. End the agritourism event with your cup filled plus a full plate at Conversations in the City, an experiential example of food, culture, and why Launceston was recently named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy.
