The third iteration of biennial contemporary art exhibition and program Hobart Current explores the theme 'Here'. Artists have created works responding to the theme across a range of creative practices and media.

This year the ten participating artists - Marion Abraham, Jodi Haines, Andy Hutson, Jade Irvine, Jenni Large, Sara Morawetz, Jonny Scholes, Mary Scott, Dylan Sheridan, Peter Waller – are all based in Lutruwita/Tasmania.

Works are presented at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and public spaces in Hobart.

The Creative Directors for 'Hobart Current: Here' are Denise Robinson and Travis Tiddy.
