Raincoat Gallery
A unique 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
Raincoat Gallery sits upstairs in Launceston's Centreway Arcade. Exhibition details and open hours can be found at their website and on their social media channels.
