The Junction Arts Festival was first presented as a one-off event annexed to the 2010 Regional Arts Australia National Conference. Junction 2010, hosted and organised by Tasmanian Regional Arts in Launceston. 

The five-day event filled a niche in Tasmania and its success prompted Events Tasmania and Launceston City Council to finance development to realise the creation of an annual multi-arts festival with the next one being planned for 5—9 September 2018.

The 'willow stick furniture' [LINK]  here was made at workshops that were a part of the Junction 2010 Festival program and that explored the concept of 'stick furniture'. These are a few of the workshops' outcomes that have been left to the elements since the workshops.

They are quietly returning to the earth, and gently, and all the while they are saying something about the kind of place in European cultural imaginations 'wickery' and stick furniture' holds.
