 The Tasmanian Government has assumed a caretaker role ahead of the election for the Tasmanian House of Assembly. It is important during this time that Tasmanian Government resources are not used to communicate political material. As such, no political or election material will be placed on this site.

Arts Tasmania

About us

Who we are

Arts Tasmania supports and develops the state’s arts and cultural heritage sector as part of the Culture, Arts and Sport division of the Department of State Growth. This division also includes Events Tasmania, Screen Tasmania, Active Tasmania, the Tasmanian Institute of Sport, the Silverdome, Operations & Client Engagement and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.

Our work is guided by the Cultural and Creative Industries Recovery Strategy.

What we do

We administer grants and loans to assist in the development and delivery of Tasmanian arts and cultural heritage activities.

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.

If you are looking for funding, visit Grants and funding or book an online Teams appointment to talk to one of our program officers.
