Galleries
The Launceston Art Centre is not just a retail outlet but an inspired experience where people can find so much more than just art supplies.
By engaging with the team at Launceston Art Centre - be it in the physical shop, on our website, or through social channels - you will find support, advice, inspiration, and like-minded people who share your passions.
Our passion for art, combined with our expertise and friendly natures, has resulted in us building a community of engaged and loyal customers – from students, parents and amateur artists and model-makers, to professional artists and teachers. Indeed, many of our customers are now considered friends - all part of an inspired and creative community that revolves around the Launceston Art Centre as a hub.
We love art, and we love our community. Below are just a few upcoming shows you may be interested in.
Featured galleries
Raincoat Contemporary Art Space
Raincoat’s vision is to offer an exhibition venue that separates itself from a commercial gallery seeking high financial returns.
With the kind support of the Arcade’s owners and their agent, that vision has produced – through hard work and commitment – a lovingly restored new public area.
Situated in the heart of Launceston, close to cafes, restaurants and other local businesses, the hope is that this small gallery will help to inject a little of its spark and fruitful expectation to others around it.
By keeping costs to a minimum, Raincoat’s owners are able to pass on that saving to fellow fine artists in the community and welcome applications from any who would like to be considered for a 3-week exhibition opportunity.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
1. Anyone is welcome to drop in for a chat, sit-down, and the opportunity to simply take in spectacular local artwork
2. Local artwork is available for sale here
3. The gallery has converted a historical space into a vibrant, community-focused place
Shop 27, 19 Paterson Street, Centreway Arcade, Launceston. 1st Floor.
Open Wednesday to Friday 10am-2pm
