This is your invitation to be part of a significant story:

Salamanca Arts Centre invites artists and arts organisations to contribute to its 50th Anniversary program in 2027, marking five decades of creativity, community and cultural significance in Tasmania. This landmark celebration will honour the history of SAC’s iconic heritage buildings, the artists and communities who have shaped its legacy, and its ongoing role in supporting contemporary arts practice. Participants are encouraged to consider how their work might respond to the Centre’s past, present and future, and to be part of a high-profile year of exhibitions, performances and public activity.

The Lightbox is a window space beside the main entrance to the Salamanca Arts Centre on Salamanca Place and can be viewed by the public 24 hours a day.

Salamanca Art Centre’s most intimate venue is encountered even before passing through the front doors. Commanding the best public location in Salamanca Place, the Lightbox is a square metre of window space available to selected artists to install works that utilise the attributes of this special exhibition space. This gallery is part of our subsidised program and is offered to SAC Associate Members on the acceptance of an exhibition proposal.
