Junction Arts Festival

Junction Arts Festival September 2026
a collision of art + performance + music

Junction Arts Festival is saddened to hear of the passing of Greg Leong.

Greg made a significant and lasting contribution to the arts in Lutruwita/Tasmania. Across many roles and contexts, he championed ambitious ideas, supported artists, and helped create spaces where bold, thoughtful work could thrive.

As both a leader and an artist, Greg brought a distinct perspective to his practice - one that was inquisitive, generous, and unafraid to challenge. His influence can be felt in the many communities and creative lives he intersected with over the years.

He will be remembered for his deep commitment to the arts and to the people within it.

We extend our sincere condolences to Greg’s family, friends, and all who were part of his world.

Vale Greg.
