Where r the details of the hobart event?

It was a glass room in Cairns today at the Tanks Arts Centre - but we were appreciative of the opportunity to meet Meagan and Cecilia who so systematically consulted with reps and experienced stewards from our inclusive and vital, visual and performing arts community. Stay loved.

Tropical Arts and partners shared their views today as they did on national news last month. www.facebook.com/abcfarnorth/videos/949500858590928/?t=9
