Sawtooth ARI Gallery

Sawtooth ARI Gallery Sawtooth ARI is an Artist-Run Initiative, based in Launceston, Tasmania, committed to servicing our local and national communities.

We aim to support voices telling the stories that need to be heard now, practices that break from oppressive traditions, and those that take risk in thinking and idea sharing. As an organisation we are focused on bringing art and ideation to the community of Launceston, as well as supporting the emerging creatives living along the banks of kanamaluka. Our staff and board create the framework of ou

r organisation, but it is our artists, audience, volunteers and members, and the conversations they share, and the thoughts they have, that define who we are and will guide us into the future. Sawtooth Ari is committed to continually moving forward as a progressive and ethical organisation. We will continue to pay artist fees for all projects and endeavor to be a socially responsible member of the wider Launceston community. We continue to develop and implement models of operation that respond to our distinctive circumstances and geographical position; creating a sustainable organisation to service arts communities locally and nationally.

Getting in the (re)zone

You’ve heard Sawtooth is on the move, but where, you might ask?

Our new home is currently undergoing important rezoning processes in preparation for our arrival. Once all the boxes have been ticked, we will be able to officially announce our new location.

In the meantime, we’re getting ready to prepare the gallery for its next chapter. We’re needing to; construct gallery walls, install electrical and lighting, make important accessibility upgrades and other essential infrastructure changes. We need your support to make this happen.

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us build, paint and create a space for art to thrive.

Join us on Saturday the 13th of June for a very special Sawtooth Artist Workshop - 'Drifting Matter; experimental site-responsive drawing with Emma Magnusson-Reid.'

Spaces are limited so be sure to RSVP below.

"Drifting Matter is a site-responsive drawing workshop exploring ideas of observation, collaboration, and surface as a process for developing a relationship with place.

Participants will respond to the environment of Sawtooth’s 58 Lindsay Street premises and the adjacent North Esk River through guided drawing and investigational mark-making, using charcoal, graphite, and sumi ink.

This experimental workshop is developed in response to Sawtooth’s forthcoming relocation from its current home in Invermay and intends to act as a poetic offering that marks and celebrates this transition."

Emma Magnusson-Reid is a contemporary visual artist based on the northeast coast of Lutruwita / Tasmania. Her multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, works on paper, and installation, exploring intimate connections between nature, biology, and ancestral identity. Through speculative concepts, she reflects on shifting environments and the emotions they evoke.

With a sensitive, process-driven approach, Magnusson-Reid weaves together materials, collection, and making to examine human impact and what it means to live in proximity to the modern ‘natural’ world. Originally from the island’s northwest coast, she now works from her studio within the Five-Mile Bluff Nature Conservation Area and teaches in drawing and printmaking at the School of Creative Arts and Media, UTAS.

✨ Change is Coming: Sawtooth On The Move ✨

A little birdy may have told you… Sawtooth ARI is on the verge of reopening in a new home (location to be announced soon!), but we can't do it alone.

To help bring our new space to life, we've launched a fundraising campaign through the Australian Cultural Fund. Your support will directly help us cover essential infrastructure and fit-out costs, expenses beyond what our current funding covers.

We're asking for your help. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us build, paint, and create a space for art to thrive.

If you’re able to give, we’d be so grateful. And if not, please spread the word. Donations are tax deductible.
