BOFA 2020 PROGRAM LAUNCHES
We are certainly living in interesting times with coronavirus and other issues but BOFA is about being positive! So, as Shakespeare said: “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;” Henry V, Act-III, Scene-I.
And what a 10th anniversary festival we have in store for you. Major festivals in both Launceston AND Hobart. Amazing films from around the world with new categories like Climate Action, The Choices We Make and Making Music, plus our old favourites of Our Stories and World Stories – and more!
Of course, there will also be red carpet screenings, parties, art exhibitions, Kingsway Festival food and wine and BOFA fringe classics in unexpected settings!
So, let’s start BOFA 2020 off with a bang with a Launch Party in Launceston. (Hobart details are being finalised right now).
Come along and hear exactly what we have in store. Programs will be handed out for more relaxed inspection! And there will be food and wine to help the conversation flow.
Wednesday 25th March. 5.30-7pm
Academy Gallery, UTAS, Inveresk Precinct, 4 Invermay Road, Invermay.
See you there. Please book to help us cater at bofa2020launch.eventbrite.com.au
GLOVER ART PRIZE DIVIDES ART LOVERS
Meanwhile, Hobart local Robert O'Connor has won the prestigious 2020 Glover landscape prize for his painting Somewhere near Oatlands with a hunk of meat sitting on a bed of mashed potatoes with peas and gravy!
"It's fun to try and disrupt a landscape prize by entering a hunk of meat into it," he said.
BOFA applauds artists who see the world differently so we recommend you take a look. The 42 Finalists’ artworks are on display at the Falls Park Pavilion, Evandale until March 15th. Not to be missed. Come along and make up your own mind!
