About University of Tasmania, School of Creative Arts

Art and design enable us to see and think in ways that everyday reality cannot. Our students, teachers and researchers are exploring new ideas, materials and technologies; connecting histories, communities and possibilities. It’s all unfolding against a backdrop of Tasmania’s vibrant creative scene.

At the School of Creative Arts, you will feel the MONA effect intensified, with regular opportunities to engage and work with visiting artists commissioned by this game-changing institution, plus Detached, TMAG and others.

Hone your creativity in fully-converted late-19th Century spaces including Hobart’s iconic Jones & Co. IXL jam factory and the Launceston & Western Railway station and goods yard – iconic locations in the heart of each city's creative precinct.

Enjoy more one-to-one time with expert staff who themselves are practicing artists, drawn by Tasmania’s groundswell of creativity and acclaimed cultural events. Be connected to a global creative context, with opportunities available both in and outside of Tasmania.
