In 2009, Travis Tiddy helped establish the biennial Queenstown Heritage and Arts Festival, now known as Tasmania’s renowned West Coast arts festival, The Unconformity. He recently finished up as the festival’s Artistic Director and CEO, having decided earlier this year that it was the right time to move on.
‘One of the things that came back from that survey was this public observation that the town didn’t have a festival, and so because we were the people who had asked that question, when we saw the response we thought, “Well, let’s give it a crack.” Thus, the story of The Unconformity is one of this expanding intent and evolving scope over time,’ Tiddy explains.
