Creative Hobart programs

Alongside temporary and permanent public art projects, Creative Hobart also runs a series of programs.

These programs respond to the key outcome areas of the Creative Hobart Strategic Framework(PDF, 2MB):

The city as a platform
The city as an incubator
The city as a connector

These might be quarterly or annual events, or changing content within fixed infrastructure like our Soapbox billboards, which change quarterly with arts-based imagery and text.
