The Art of Christmas is fast approaching
UTAS' Menzies Research Institute Tasmania is gearing up for its signature annual fundraising event, the Art of Christmas.
Now in its ninth year, the Art of Christmas promotes Tasmanian artists and raises vital funds for medical research. The event will commence at 6pm, Thursday 17 October, at the UTAS Medical Science Precinct, Hobart.
