A winter arts festival held over the June long weekend in the north east region of Tasmania. The premier attraction is the annual Bay of Fires Art Prize. Some 30 odd finalists are selected by world renowned judges for the Gala Opening of the Exhibition on Friday night. Have a front row seat when the winner of $20,000 is announced. The exhibition is open to the public until 15th June. Supporting the Art Prize at this Winter Arts Festival are: Local Art Prize: See what our local artists have been creating. Youth Art Prize: The future of East Coast art is in good hands. Check out their talent. Secret People, Secret Places: Invites you to step into the homes and studios of our local artists. Purchase a piece direct from the artist for that blank wall in your house. Open Gardens are part of "SPSP" too. Find out what works in winter for your garden at home. Dawn Dash N Splash. Binalong Bay Beach hosts brave souls for a swim and splash to greet the dawn. Bathing costumes are optional but bathing CAPS are not! And their are many other niche events happening around the area. Something for everyone.
