Tasmanian Regional Arts will tease delegates with a taste of what Australia’s island state offers through the presentation of a short film, An Island Inspired and a live performance by the Roadkill Drummers. An Island Inspired by Hobart based film maker Ludger Kreutzheide explores the depth of artistic practise in Tasmania highlighting the spectacular beauty of Tasmania’s natural scenery. The Roadkill Drummers formed on Flinders Island in 2000, offer outer island beats inspired by blazing West African tunes. They are fast, fun, and furious! Speakers include, Michelle O’Byrne, Tasmanian Minister for Environment, Parks, Heritage and the Arts, Lee Cole President of Tasmanian Regional Arts and emerging Launceston based artist Karlee Foster. Come and explore possibilities for the 7th Regional Arts Australia National Conference to be hosted by Launceston, August 27-29, 2010.
