We know, we know - we keep banging on about how many people it takes to make Open House Hobart the success that it is - but it's true!
As we wrap up for the year, we'd like to thank each and everyone one of you for being involved in whatever way. We know a post isn't quite enough to cover everyone, but we'll try!
A massive thank you to everyone who opened up buildings: homeowners, custodians, organisations, architects and more. It's a big ask to invite strangers in - especially to your home - and we don't take it for granted. Thank you also to those who ran workshops, exhibitions, events and tours. These are what fill the Open House program - you're the best!
Open House simply can't run without a small army of volunteers - the friendly faces donning the red and white t-shirts who ensure that attendees know where to go, numbers are counted, and more. Thank you to all of you who gave up your time over the weekend.
Behind the scenes there's a team of brilliant minds at work - the Open House committee who ably steer the program, along with the small-but-mighty Institute team who pull it all together. Thank you!
Events such as this also need funding and support behind them, and we're ever so thankful to our partners, who go above and beyond to ensure the event is able to run. Thank you to major partners the Tasmanian Government and ; we're supported by the ; event partners: , and /; and media partner: .
And lastly, thank you to everyone who turned up to have a sticky beak! Thank you all so much for your curiosity and desire to explore the wonderful and intriguing stories that shape the built environment of Hobart and beyond!
