End of an Era: Tasmania's MONA FOMA Festival Concludes After 16 Years
April 5, 2024
After a 16-year run, Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) has permanently canceled its summer event, MONA FOMA.
The decision to end the festival comes amid changing conditions, escalating costs, and a strategic shift towards more permanent projects.
MONA FOMA's termination follows the recent cancellation of Dark Mofo, another of MONA's popular festivals, slated for 2024.
The festival's closure contributes to a national trend, with over 25 music festivals across Australia canceled since 2022.
MONA FOMA was celebrated for its diverse lineup and art installations, leaving a cultural impact and memories for those who experienced its offerings.
