The Black Sassy Collective is a community collective of artisans, poets, creatives and musicians, inspired by the wilds of Tasmanaian forests, rivers and seas. It focuses on encouraging and empowering, inspiring and educating peoples about the beauty and integral nature of being part of these wild lands. The collective is based at the Huon Valley Environment Centre, Tasmania. The Black Sassy Collective has been a metabolising body for over a year now. Its story began at its embryonic beginning, when monthly trips to the Southern forests of Tasmania were instigated as a means of viewing and appreciating the rapidly diminishing vastness of forest seas. Weld Echo was the spawned baby of this project, as 46 artists all gave homage to the wilds of the weld valley in an exhibition at the Waterside Pavillion, Mawsons Place. Following this, The Black Sassy Collective has been part of a number of projects in Sydney and monthly exhibitions in Huonville at GLO cafe. Black Sassy is a support body for all types of creative explosions and is currently in admidst of a number of projects.
