Top five regional art galleries
Mona may have put Tassie on the map for arts tourism, but there’s plenty more to discover around the state, too. We round up five galleries across our state that are proudly shaped by their surroundings.
Devonport Regional Gallery, Devonport
This council-funded space champions the work of contemporary Tasmanian artists across three modern exhibition spaces. With a focus on art, craft and design, a yearly emerging artists program supports the work of early career artists, while the gallery also functions as a hub for community activities, with a range of hands-on creative programs.

Moonah Arts Centre (MAC),Moonah
This gallery/performance space knows how to party. Free, family-friendly live music sessions are held on the second Saturday of each month, while the exhibition program highlights the work of a diverse artist base from Tasmania and abroad. During school holidays, there’s age-appropriate workshops ranging from singing to pottery, printmaking and circus skills.

Burnie Arts, Burnie
This sprawling public gallery space and multi-purpose arts centre, re-opened in late 2025 after a $20 million renovation – an impressive turnaround considering the local council closed it down in 2022. Thankfully, federal funding provided a much-needed boost for the cultural hub, with works by Julie Gough, Ernest Albert Winter and Rodney Pople on show alongside touring exhibitions.

Soggy Brolly, Queenstown
Located in an old shopfront on Orr Street, this independent gallery is largely focused on makers from the west coast and those who celebrate the region’s rugged beauty and can-do spirit. Think photography (Frankie Munro) to painting and printmaking (Raymond Arnold), jewellery (Yvania Bartholomeusz) and sculpture (Mal Gotjes). With works for sale at reasonable prices, you can pick up original works for a song.

Wilderness Gallery, Cradle Mountain
Sporting nine exhibition rooms, an outdoor garden, and a movie theatre that screens the documentary Wilderness, which tells the story of Olegas Truchanas and Peter Dombrovskis, two of Tasmania’s (and Australia’s) greatest wilderness photographers, this gallery is open seven days a week with free entry. It’s the perfect place to warm up after a day of bushwalking, and the gift shop is stocked with Tassie-made merch.
