Organised by Arts on Track and Regional Arts Tasmania, the exhibition is being held at the Bridport Bunker Club and features 10 photographers and mixed-media artists.
One of the amateur artists featured is Jay Wilson, originally from Colorado, who moved with his wife to Tasmania in the 1970s for a sea change - quickly falling in love with Australia's urban and wild landscapes.
Photographing everything from Melbourne's eclectic street art to the natural beauty of his seaside home, Wilson took photographs every day and posted them to social media.
"It's a discipline to notice the world around you," he said.
"It keeps you mindful and then you share the beauty of where you live with other people, so I post a bit on Instagram and Facebook."
The Kaleidoscope exhibition was curated by Arts on Track secretary Edwina Powell, who said she had tried to feature artists looking at the world in a different way.
"Photographers were invited use a flexible interpretation of the theme 'kaleidoscope' by capturing the continually changing colour, pattern, landscape and people," she said.
Visitors are given kaleidoscopes to view the artworks.
Other artists exhibiting include Athalie Taylor, whose brightly coloured prints are sure to be a crowd-pleaser, Saffron Misiepo and Ruth Cuff.
