Aboriginal Arts Program 2022-23

The peers gave the following feedback to help current and future applicants:

• Applications that spoke to how the activity would benefit both the applicant and the broader Tasmanian Aboriginal community were more likely to be supported by the peers.
• Stronger applications in this round included:
  • Budgets that clearly showed how figures were calculated (including references to industry rate for artist wages and fees)
  • Timelines to show how long the activity would take
  • Confirmations from other artists, organisations, or venues such as galleries
  • Letters of support from appropriate members of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community (especially when dealing with sensitive stories or subject matter)
• Applicants were reminded to use plain language in their applications.

Arts Tasmania carefully manages actual and perceived conflicts of interest for both staff members and peers involved in the assessment process.
