Art Deco Hobart: Look Up, Look Closer
Look up, slow down and discover a different side of Hobart’s CBD on this guided walking tour celebrating the city’s Art Deco architecture.
Join the Art Deco Society of Australia fand wander through the streets and look closer at the façades, geometric patterns, lettering, materials and decorative details that reveal the optimism and glamour of the interwar years.
You’ll discover Art Deco hiding in plain sight, from streamlined forms and bold geometry to the small details that are easy to miss when you’re rushing through the city.
Along the way, hear the stories behind these buildings and discover how changing ideas about design, technology and modern life left their mark on Hobart.
Come curious, look up and see the familiar streets of the CBD through a new lens. You may never walk through Hobart quite the same way again.

![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.
