After the overwhelming success of the 2010 event, Junction Arts Festival is back in 2011!

Held from 24 August to 28 August 2011 in Launceston, Tasmania, the Junction Arts Festival (JAF) is an annual multi-arts festival with a slight twist and a unique vision that will place it among a handful of progressive niche festivals across the world.

About Junction Arts Festival 2011
Junction will feature playful and ambitious contemporary live performance, theatre, visual and media arts, literature, music and dance by leading local, national and international artists, with a particular focus on works that invite audiences to become participants and collaborators.

Junction Arts Festival is pleased to announce the tremendous support of the Tasmanian Government through Events Tasmania, who have committed $600,000 over three years towards the development of the festival. The Junction Arts Festival Committee is excited to have received financial support from the Launceston City Council as well as the in-kind support of office space at the Albert Hall. JAF would also like to acknowledge The Winifred D Booth Charitable Trust and the Tasmanian Community Fund for their support of the 2011 Festival.

Three top-end ticketed theatre shows highlight the best in live performance, variety and new media. With over 50 FREE performances and events across five days and nights, there will be something for everyone.

The JAF11 website will go live on Friday 22 July 2011, where the full program of events will be available to download. We invite members of the community to participate in the Festival through our volunteer or internship programs.
