Open House Southern Midlands
Open House Southern Midlands will be held on Saturday 1 + Sunday 2 November!
More details will be released as we get closer to the weekend!
It’s a chance to show off secret places to architecture fans, mystery lovers and sticky beaks!
It’s a free celebration of architecture, design, and tasmania’s built history. It’s a chance for you to get out your camera, take a peek at how others live, work and play. Look up, look inside, climb a ladder or descend into a basement, and take in the incredible views from different vantage points around the Southern Midlands.
This event received funding from the Tasmanian Government’s Built Heritage Grants Scheme.

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
