Happiness: News from the front.

The Happiness Project is in full swing!

Bringing Happiness to Community.

Kickstart Arts’ HAPPINESS PROJECT is moving forward at pace! Thanks to the Tasmanian Community Fund through their Adult and Family Literary Grant – and of course from the support we’ve received from Arts Tasmania and the Australia Council for the Arts.


Using the tools of interviewing, script writing, film making, collaborating, designing and building, THE HAPPINESS PROJECT will be engaging young people together with their families and networks in five rural Tasmanian communities in the process of considering what makes people happy and fulfilled within their lives.


Led by professional facilitators, community members will learn how to craft story based artworks including writing, poetry, theatre, film and digital art that explore the true nature of happiness from their own perspectives. They will work with professional designers and builders to create a self powered mobile cinema called PODS, that can screen the films using renewable energy sources. Community members will then be involved in producing screenings of the HAPPINESS films at Agfest in 2012, followed by a tour of rural Tasmania.


Kickstart Arts AGM

Kickstart Arts Annual General Meeting will be held next Tuesday 8th of February at 5.30pm.

A new year beckons

At Kickstart Arts we’re back to work after some brilliant holidays and we’re ready to start on a new year of community projects throughout Tasmania. The team is back in business bringing a number of projects to greater Hobart, the Huon Valley, Southern Midlands, Flinders Island and Cape Barren Island.

And we’re planning a whole new website and 2 other cool project sites.
