JUST TURN UP, NO BOOKINGS REQUIRED!
Architect: Room 11 (2012-2013)
One of Hobart’s best-known public parks, the architecture award-winning Glenorchy Art and Sculpture Park has forged strong community pride with its quiet presence on the Montrose Bay foreshore. Two brightly coloured boardwalks extend across the water and link to a series of pavilions to rest, take in the view across the water, have a barbie or spot the pied and the sooties pecking about on shore. Further along the two kilometre foreshore walk, which now extends beyond the Derwent Entertainment Centre, is a striking concrete and coloured glass cantilevered pavilion that frames spectacular views of the mountain as well as Katsalidis’ MONA, all from a former staging point used in the construction of the Bowen Bridge.

![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.
