Tasmania’s ‘Growing Pains in the Arts’ program is underway for 2024 in partnership with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.

‘Growing Pains in the Arts’ has been offered in Hobart and Launceston since 2018 and panel members include representatives from ROOKE, the TSO, Ten Days on the Island and the Theatre Royal.

Tasmanian Minister for the Arts, Madeleine Ogilvie, said the TSO-designed program provides arts and cultural organisations and individual artists with tools and plans to assist their organisation or practice across areas including income generation and branding.

Minister Ogilvie noted “Giving our artists the tools and knowledge to be successful is a key component in making sure artists and arts organisations thrive.

“This annual series of skills-development seminars and events is open to all organisations and individual artists working in performing and visual arts and the wider creative industries.

“The program is designed for those managing arts and cultural organisations, and early-to-mid career arts and creative industries managers. It is also open to post-graduate and final-year students studying creative industries disciplines.

“The Tasmanian Government is committed to building strong communities, and that includes the arts sector. Our 2024-25 budget drives delivery of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future, including an $1.5 million uplift for arts organisations, ensuring our vibrant arts sector can go from strength to strength.”

“I’m thrilled that we are able to gather leaders from our cultural institutions to share their experiences and provide advice and guidance to the arts community. Teaching these practical skills can take help take the Tasmanian creative industries to the next level.”
