The Huon Art Exhibitions Group (HAEG) has been formed to facilitate a series of artwork exhibitions and competitions to be held regularly each year.
The aim is to cultivate artistic and cultural life in Southern Tasmania’s rural areas and to foster young and emerging artists.
HAEG events give local artists of all abilities a venue to show their work, and an opportunity to meet with artists in the region.
HAEG members operate the Cygnet Gallery at 9A Mary Street, Cygnet every day 10am-4pm, and usually on public holidays too.
The work of members is available for purchase from the Cygnet Gallery at very reasonable rates. Works can also be purchased by contacting a committee member.


The Cygnet Gallery is open 10am-4pm
Daily – all year round.
