Moonah Arts Centre: Young Writers in the City of Glenorchy Launch

Tasmanian Writers’ Centre

Thursday 22 June 2017 | 5.30 for 6.00pm | Moonah Arts Centre, 23-27 Albert Road Moonah 7009

The work developed by the 2017 Young Writers in the City of Glenorchy residents will be launched at the Moonah Arts Centre. We invite all local and visiting community members to join us as we celebrate the residents’ endeavors.

Earlier this year the Tasmanian Writers Centre, in partnership with the Moonah Arts Centre and Glenorchy City Council, launched its Young Writers in the City residency. This is the first time that Young Writers in the City has taken place in the City of Glenorchy.

The Young Writers in the City program is a unique opportunity that provides young writers a structured and paid writing program to develop new work while also making an important artistic contribution to the municipality in which the program takes place. Six young writers-in-residence have each been commissioned to create experimental essays inspired by the various spaces and venues they have selected across Glenorchy.

On Thursday, 22 June 2017 we will launch the residents’ works at the Moonah Arts Centre. We invite all community members to join us as we celebrate the endeavors of our residents.

The 2017 Glenorchy residents include: Lily Bennett (venue: Northgate and surrounds), Vivienne Cutbush (venue: GASP), Kate Dewar (venue: Migrant Resource Centre), Elissa Evans (venue: MONA), Zara Gudnason (venue: MR-1 Fast Ferry), and Laura Hilton (venue: Magnolia 73 Café)
