Tasmanian Regional Arts
TRA State Gathering 16-17 September 2011
Parsons Bay Retreat, Nubeena, Tasmania
Background: Tasmanian Regional Arts (TRA) is the regional and
community arts peak body for Tasmania
TRA has previously held state conferences in many locations round the state (Ulverstone; Bridport; Freycinet; Deloraine; Latrobe)
In 2010 TRA hosted the hugely successful Junction Arts Festival alongside the Regional Arts Australia Junction 2010 Conference. Many TRA members attended this national event
Over the past three years TRA has held regional forums in lieu of a state conference
In 2010 TRA decided to host a state gathering in 2011 to reconnect with our membership…

Networks were reinvigorated and ideas shared
Many were amazed about the extent and quality of work being undertaken by the membership
The critical role of TRA as a statewide service organisation was reaffirmed
TRA staff were thanked for their expertise, hard work and dedication
…and we had fun!

Plans for future events?
TRA intends to host future state gatherings on either an annual or biannual basis
Expressions of interest will be sought from branches interested in hosting future gatherings
The event will continue to provide members with the opportunity to speak to each other and develop networks rather than hear visiting ‘experts’
