Kelly’s Garden Curated Projects, curated by Seán Kelly (2009 – 2016) and Colin Langridge (2017), delivers an outstanding and varied annual curated program of artists who engage with and respond to Kelly’s Garden, Hobart’s outdoor installation space attached to Salamanca Arts Centre (SAC).
The Kelly’s Garden Curated Projects program explores the most innovative aspects of contemporary installation practice with many of the exhibitions included in festivals such as Mona Foma, Dark Mofo and Ten Days on the Island, often in conjunction with SAC’s SITUATE Arts in Festivals program.
Kelly’s Garden is a high profile location, attracting many viewers, local and visiting, and is the only outdoor exhibition space of its kind in Hobart. It engages both the arts community and those who may not usually enter a gallery but are intrigued as they encounter the space, passing by regularly or occasionally, or exploring it as tourists.
Salamanca Arts Centre has developed a strategically focused program of activity that reflects innovative and best practice in contemporary art, presenting the work of emerging and established Tasmanian, national and international artists of significance.
