Junction Arts Festival Inc

Junction Arts Festival Inc produces an annual arts and cultural festival in the heart of Launceston, taking place in mid Sept, encouraging the city to spring to life after winter. The festival is about engaging with the community, encouraging interaction (and participation) in a diverse arts based cultural program. Junction aims to contribute to the cultural, social and economic wealth of the northern region of the state, fostering an exciting and innovative program to not only attract but grow intrastate and interstate visitors. The festivals success comes from putting local talent in the spotlight while encouraging audience engagement designed to breakdown the barriers and lessen any 'fear factor' . The festival supports the local arts and cultural scene by developing the skill base of its staff and teams of volunteers and partnering with local organisations to promote the cultural diversity of Launceston. Junction utilises unique, nonconventional and historic spaces to increase the festivals boutique appeal and provide engaging moments for its audience
