The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and Tasmanian Institute of Sport are also supported by the division.

What we do

It aims to build the sustainability of arts businesses, broaden the engagement of Tasmanians in the arts and promote the State’s diverse arts and cultural sector. This is achieved through a range of grants and loans programs and industry development programs and initiatives.

Under the Cultural and Creative Industries Act 2017 funding assessment panels are drawn from the Cultural Creative Industries Expert Register.

We also provide direct support in the form of industry and professional development – including public art commissions through the Tasmanian Government Art Site Scheme.

Arts Tasmania is also guided by the Cultural and Creative Industries Recovery Strategy: 2020 and Beyond.
