Rosny Farm
Rosny Farm is a historically significant site established as early as c1806. The site was a land grant to ex Norfolk Island convict Richard Morgan.
The site is listed on the Tasmanian Heritage register and consists of an early 19th Century stone barn (c1818), mid-19th Century sandstone farm cottage (c1850) and public art gallery set within landscaped grounds at Rosny Park.
In 2006, we partnered with the Tasmanian Community Fund to transform The Barn into an award-winning space to be used for exhibitions, displays and concerts.
Today, Rosny Farm is home to arts and events in the city. Rosny Farm plays host to an annual program of exhibitions, festivals, concerts, performances and holiday activities.
Rosny Farm is open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday, from 11 am to 5 pm.

An annual program of exhibitions is held at the Schoolhouse Gallery and delivered through an expression of interest process.
The program features exhibitions by community arts groups, emerging and established professional artists, educational organisations, young people and touring exhibitions.
