Arts is on the move - Introducing our new home

Arts Tasmania and arts@work are set to join forces with AbaF and Tasmania Performs in brand new premises on October 13. The old Bridges Brothers building at 146 Elizabeth St Hobart has been transformed into a new arts hub and will be the place to go for arts funding advice, professional development advice, commissioning services and much more! The new street-front office will give greater access to staff and services offered. Arts Tasmania and arts@work are researching the arts sector for ideas to improve what we offer and to gauge what other services are needed.

A great exhibition space has been set aside at 146 Elizabeth St to support local artists and curators. Displays in this space will also provide an insight into many of the Arts Tasmania and arts@work projects and programs, such as Design Island, Tasmanian Living Artists' Week and the natural and cultural residencies.

The staff is unchanged and will continue to offer practical support and funding advice. The State Library is just around the corner in Bathurst St offering great public access on-line systems free of charge, equipped with publishing software and scanners.

The new arts offices will house the following arts crews:
