EXPERIENCE IMMERSIVE TASMANIAN ART IN THE HEART OF LAUNCESTON

Spring in Launceston is set to bloom with creativity, connection, and colour as Junction Arts Festival returns for its milestone 15th year.
From 12–21 September 2025, the city transforms into a hub of immersive art, bold performances, and unforgettable experiences. With two weekends of programming and over 250 artists involved, Junction 2025 invites locals and visitors alike to explore Tasmania’s thriving creative scene right in the heart of Launceston.
This year’s theme centres on renewal and reflection—marking 15 years of Junction’s community-driven history while boldly stepping into new artistic territory. From large-scale interactive installations to intimate, thought-provoking works, there’s something for everyone to discover.
One not-to-miss highlight is the Tasmanian premiere of Airship Orchestra by internationally renowned studio Eness. This interactive soft sculpture installation is as much a sonic experience as it is a visual one—expect to be fully enveloped in light and sound. It’s a first for Tasmania and a shining example of the kind of immersive contemporary art that Junction is bringing to this year’s festival.
The program also celebrates local stories and artists, with reflective works honouring the festival’s journey and its deep roots in the community. Whether you're attending the anniversary celebrations on the first weekend (12–14 September) or catching the city-wide buzz from 18–21 September, Junction offers a multi-sensory adventure you won’t want to miss.
Tickets go on sale 7 August at 7:00 am, and with the program now live, now’s the time to start planning your festival experience. View the full digital program [here].
