The City of Hobart launched its cultural strategy – Creative Hobart – in June 2013 in response to Hobart’s strong traditions in craft and design, the performing arts, music and literature, and growing recognition nationally and internationally.
Our Community Development Grants Program supports a range of projects initiated by Hobart’s creative community, residents and businesses.
The Pop-Up Creative Hobart program provides opportunities for artists and creative producers to showcase and share their creative talent.
The City of Hobart owns properties including open bushland, heritage spaces, and little-known underground venues. Moody basements, ornate ballrooms and open parklands are just some of the venues available for artistic and cultural use.
Hobart's arts organisations, such as theatre companies, galleries, and festival and service providers, are major contributors to Hobart’s reputation as an inspired and inspiring place to live, work and visit.
If you want to promote your events to residents and visitors of Hobart, you have a range of options available to you.
