Weathering - Celebrating King Island Resilience
Opening Sunday 6 July 1:00pm at the King Island Gallery, Currie Wharf
In the face of King Island’s most severe drought in a hundred years, our community has demonstrated remarkable resilience. Weathering is a community gathering and exhibition that celebrates our strength, highlighting the unwavering spirit of our farmers and the vital support provided by the Lions Club and Need for Feed initiative. Weathering aims to demonstrate the power of creativity in fostering greater social connectedness and supporting mental health and well-being. This exhibition will not focus on any specific art form but will be a welcoming space for creative reflection and storytelling, capturing the challenges and triumphs experienced through the drought. We hope you will join us in celebrating the resilience of our farmers and a King Island community spirit that doesn’t falter. Exhibition continues until 17 August 2025.
This exhibition is supported by Healthy Tasmania’s Step Forward Grant and King Island Council.

We invite the whole community to be part of this exhibition. To tell the story.
We welcome you to create something that speaks to drought, resilience, or the role of Lions and our community organisations. Explore stories of struggle, strength and hope. Whether in the form of a poem, sculpture, photo, drawing, painting, shed project - any and all mediums of creativity are welcome.
We hope you will join us Sunday 6 July 2025 at 1:00pm as we gather together to honour and reflect on the challenges and triumphs of the past year and celebrate King Island’s strength.

Youth Voice - What Matters Exhibition
Opening Saturday 5 April 1:00pm at the King Island Gallery, Currie Wharf
What do young people in our island community care about most? What dreams, struggles, and passions shape their world? What Matters is a powerful, youth-driven exhibition showcasing the voices of young islanders across all mediums. Through their creative voice, our island’s youth explore the issues that define their lives and identity. This exhibition is a space to speak, be heard and be seen. We are celebrating the perspectives, creativity, and bold ideas of the next generation of King Islanders. What Matters isn’t just about art — it’s about listening, learning from, & amplifying the voices that will shape our island’s future. Exhibition concluded 18 May 2025.
This exhibition is supported by Healthy Tasmania and King Island Council.
