Funding Update

We are delighted to announce that Arts Tasmania has awarded us an organisational grant for 2021. This grant provides us with a solid foundation from which we will pursue the additional revenue necessary to deliver our planned 2021 program.

This is very encouraging news for Island; however, we appreciate that these are challenging times for the arts sector and we recognise that many arts organisations are facing uncertainty.

The support that Island has received from philanthropists, donors, partners, advertisers and readers has enabled us to keep publishing during a challenging year. The board of Island also acknowledges with thanks the ongoing commitment of our core team and their contribution to making Island a cherished part of Tasmania’s – and the nation’s – artistic culture.

We look forward to continuing to support, develop and publish Australia’s literary and artistic talent, especially from the thriving cultural centre of Tasmania, as we have for 40 years.
