The Culture, Arts and Sport division is part of the Department of State Growth. We are the principal cultural and sporting advisory, development and funding body in Tasmania.

We are made up of seven business units: Arts Tasmania, Events Tasmania, Screen Tasmania, Active Tasmania, Tasmanian Institute of Sport, Silverdome, and Operations and Client Engagement. The division supports sector development, delivery of services, provides funding and stimulates demand. The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is also supported by the division.

We're here to provide support to the cultural, creative and sporting industries, in all their forms. Read more.
