Regional Arts Fund
Regional Quick Response, Small and Major Grant applications are currently closed until January 2010. Applicants in the August 2009 RAF round will be advised shortly once the Commonwealth Minister endorses the panel recommendations. Current RAF recipients are reminded that all grants require you to provide an acquittal of your project. TRA uses this information to lobby for increased funding for the program so your assistance in completing acquittals within agreed timeframes is apprciated.
If you have any other queries about your Regional Arts Fund grant please contact TRA's Head Office on (03) 6426 2344 or by email

Tasmanian Regional Arts (TRA) provides its members, affiliates and the broader regional community with a range of resources and publications.
These resources have been collated to support TRA branch activity, celebrate the achievements of specific projects undertaken by TRA and its members and provide advice and inspiration.
Many of these resources are downloadable PDF files viewable with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Most resources are accessible in both hard copy and on line. Click here to download the latest Branch Manual, E-newsletter, the Annual Report and other resources.
Not all of TRA's resources are virtual:TRA's major living resource is our network of three Regional Arts Development Officers located in Latrobe, Launceston and Hobart.
