funding for the Wool Centre Museum in Ross to employ a Museum Officer to contribute to the effective management of its collection, while also contributing to the delivery of a range of community engagement activities in 2022-23;
funding of $4,513 to enable the Galley Museum to develop a publication that showcases the photographs included in its diverse collection; and
multi-year funding for the Narryna Heritage Museum in Battery Point to deliver a range of programs that encourage and grow public engagement through the creation of contemporary works that respond to items of significance within the collection.

Tasmanian Minister for the Arts, Elise Archer advised “in addition to funding, 11 organisations will receive a total of 105 days of professional assistance through the Roving Curator program in 2022.
