===Visual arts=== The biennial ''Tasmanian Living Artists' Week'' is a ten-day statewide festival for Tasmania's visual artists. The fourth festival in 2007 involved more than 1000 artists. Tasmania is home to two winners of the prestigious [[Archibald Prize]]β[[Jack Carington Smith]] in 1963 for a portrait of [[James McAuley]], and [[Geoffrey Dyer]] in 2003 for his portrait of [[Richard Flanagan]]. Photographers [[Olegas Truchanas]] and [[Peter Dombrovskis]] are known for works that became iconic in the [[Lake Pedder]] and [[Franklin Dam]] conservation movements. English-born painter [[John Glover (artist)|John Glover]] (1767β1849) is known for his paintings of Tasmanian landscapes, and is the namesake for the annual [[Glover Prize]], which is awarded to the best landscape painting of Tasmania.
