Ron Gifford

2011 Chair’S rEpOrT

Salamanca Arts Centre (SAC) is a significant contributor to the creativity, culture, social fabric, tourism, heritage, and economy of Hobart and Tasmania. Our Board ensures the good governance, strategic priorities, directions and activities of the Arts Centre.

BOard MEMBErShipSalamanca Arts Centre became a not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee in 2009 with a committed active 9 member Board of Directors and extensive community reach. We have extensive expertise in arts, business, marketing, law, education, financial management, heritage buildings and facilities management across our Board Directors and staff.

New Board Directors welcomed in 2011 are Accountant and Auditor Ross Byrne, who joined the Board in September 2010 and became Treasurer in May 2011, and Gerald Loughran, the founding Chair of the Tasmanian Community Fund, who joined in September 2011. Gerald brings extensive business, governance, tourism, and community sector knowledge to the organisation, augmenting the existing range of Board Directors’ skills and knowledge across the arts, governance, law, accounting, business and marketing. SAC’s serving Board Directors are: Justice Alan Blow (Secretary) Lisa Free, Lesley Graham, Dr Bill Hart, The Hon Duncan Kerr, David Laskey, alongside Ross Byrne (Treasurer), Gerald Loughran, and myself, Ron Gifford, Chair.

STraTEgiC CONTExTAs a forward-oriented multi-arts Creative Hub, the activity created by all Arts Centre residents has long been the cultural benchmark for Tasmania. At ground level, artists’ and artisans’ creative output is available for purchase, for use, collection, decoration and investment. The upper 3 floors of the buildings are where Tasmanian films, performances, exhibitions, artworks, fiction, scripts, festivals and events are created. Indicative research shows that the combined direct economic input of SAC’s artists, organisations, projects, retail and events is in the order of $25m annually with approximately 250,000 visitations to the Arts Centre annually.

This is significant, and when coupled with extensive cultural and social input and benefit, the value to the community is likely to be considerably higher.

SaC rESEarChIn the latter part of 2011, building on work undertaken by David Fishel’s Positive Solutions 2010 Salamanca Arts Centre Positioning Review, SAC undertook a Scoping Study through IMC-Link, led by Emeritus Professor Bruce Felmingham and Ian McMahon, to ascertain the most appropriate methodology to assess the Centre’s Economic, Social and Cultural value to the State. IMC-Link recommended that Cost – Benefit Analysis, as previously applied to the Tasmanian Sport and Recreation sector, could be further developed for specific application to the Cultural sector. This study commences in 2012.

TaSMaNiaN gOvErNMENT - hEadlEaSESalamanca Arts Centre activated the next 10 Year Option of our ‘peppercorn’ 99 year Headlease which commenced in 1991. We have 79 years remaining on the lease. The annual Government maintenance contribution for the upkeep of the heritage buildings through the CIPEM program (Capital Improvement Program and Essential Maintenance), while greatly valued, is inadequate for the buildings’ needs. In 2012 SAC will advance discussions with Government to seek a significant capital investment to upgrade the buildings to meet basic contemporary standards and expectations.

arTS TaSMaNiaThe Tasmanian Government provided Arts Program funding in 2011. This is reported under the Arts Program heading below and in full elsewhere in the Annual Report.

hOBarT CiTy COuNCilWe value our ongoing two-way partnership with Hobart City Council. Not only is Salamanca Arts Centre a significant Sullivan’s Cove ratepayer contributing to cultural and business activity, we create authentic engagement that activates the cultural story of the City through our Arts Program, supported by Hobart City Council (HCC).

In 2011, in addition to Council’s Annual Committed Grant to SAC HCC committed additional funds towards SAC35, to be presented in 2012, a program of cultural activities and interventions celebrating the Arts Centre’s history and contribution over 35 years of buildings occupancy. (SAC was established in 1975 but moved into the Arts Centre across the following 2 years, officially receiving the key in 1977.)

In 2011 too, planning and discussions between HCC and SAC worked towards the next 20 year lease to HCC of the ground-floor Public Toilet facilities, with upgrade plans and scheduling of works. The previous lease expired in July 2011.

priNCES Wharf 1In 2011 Salamanca Arts Centre tendered, with Hobart City Council’s endorsement, for the management of Princes Wharf 1 (PW1). Our model was active and inclusive, traversing large events to small-scale community use and making PW1 a community focal point for the Cove. The contract was awarded to another group on the basis of low cost and a passive model of use. Salamanca Arts Centre will continue to pursue active management of PW1; we have a track record for conceiving and developing large scale major events through to small scale community engagement projects across arts, community, multi-cultural, music, sports, conferences. Hobart will have a more active waterfront if SAC is enabled to develop this.

arTS prOgraM SuppOrTSalamanca Arts Centre’s Arts Program delivered a diverse and exciting range of performing, visual and interdisciplinary arts programmed and facilitated by SAC, activating our precinct with an outreach that takes Salamanca Arts Centre and Hobart’s profile way beyond the city, across the state and nationally, positioning Hobart as an active exciting place to live, work and visit.

SAC’s Arts Program links artist development and artform development, active community engagement, in-depth research and exploration, and residencies that bring international and national artists to Hobart. SAC partners with the University of Tasmania, Tasmanian Polytechnic, Tasmania Performs and CAST in Hobart and national partnerships link through Mobile States, Kultour, and SAC’s national touring exhibitions.

We thank Arts Tasmania and Hobart City Council for grant commitments for delivery of SAC’s Arts Program. This supports SAC’s ability to contribute to and enrich Hobart and Tasmania’s cultural life by developing and presenting Tasmanian projects. This support leverages other grants within Tasmania and nationally.

auSTralia COuNCil fOr ThE arTS Grants from the Australia Council for the Arts provide an increasingly important contribution to Tasmania’s cultural sector through support of Salamanca Arts Centre projects. The Inter-Arts program provided a residency for Martyn Coutts, Ian Pidd, and Sam Routledge that led to a suite of new performance and live art projects to celebrate SAC’s 35th anniversary in 2012. The Visual Arts Board supported our major 2011 exhbition Dis-covery, and the Theatre Board supported HyPe. Mobile States is supported by the Australia Council’s Theatre, Dance and Inter-Arts programs.

OThEr valuEd SuppOrTErSOther valued supporters include the Gordon Darling Foundation with funds supporting the catalogue for Dis-Covery, curated by Dr Colin Langridge and the Arts Council of England for an artist residency for Lindsay Seers. Following Ten Days On The Island, this popular exhibition toured to Devonport and in 2012-13 will go to Goulburn and Tamworth Regional Galleries.

Kelly’s Garden Curated Projects installation program is supported by both Arts Tasmania and Aspect Design, augmented by fund-raising through the SAC Annual Quiz Night. The Kelly’s Garden program is now established and has proved to be of great interest to the public and artists alike.

2011 HIGHLIGHTS

A priority this year was to find out the best way to demonstrate the value of the Centre’s contribution to the Tasmanian community - the Board commissioned a research scoping study. The Cost Benefit study recommended by Dr Bruce Felmingham and Ian McMahon of IMC-Link will commence in 2012. It will increase State and Federal Government awareness of SAC’s economic, social and cultural contribution to the city and the state, encouraging investment in the upgrade of our challenging-to-maintain heritage buildings.

As an arts-led Creative Hub, here for the arts in all its manifestations, we’re proud that Salamanca Arts Centre generates and hosts excellent contemporary work by resident and visiting artists, and the community. We ensure that there is a diversity of arts organisations, galleries, businesses and artists supported through short and long-term residencies at SAC and healthy community access to our venues for community events and projects.

arTS CONTExTWe advised in our 2010 Annual Report that, following the 2010 Mona Foma, SAC had fully vested our festival project with our project partner Mona. It became clear that, in the shadow of Mona, SAC’s key strategic role in festival initiation, development and delivery was neither understood nor acknowledged by funders, media, participating artists, nor strategic partners. For the first time in 4 years SAC was freed of this additional responsibility. Mona opened its doors to the public in January and we look towards their success as the new (and independently wealthy) kid on the block that, like SAC, values contemporary ideas in the arts.

In 2011 SAC’s Peacock Theatre hosted the ABC’s Conversations with Richard Fidler, (the quiet one from the Doug Anthony Allstars), new Tasmanian films made through Wide Angle Tasmania, a concert by pop musician Katie Noonan, the confronting and moving Africa featuring puppets as the principal child performers toured by Mobile States. Later in the year The Harry Harlow Show questioned the balance of science advances through animal experimentation, also under the Mobile States banner. Kimisis, Ihos Opera’s short work, premiered in the Peacock Theatre as part of Mona Foma, and had a second season there before heading to Darwin Festival under the Mobile States banner, the first Tasmanian project to do so, although Tasmanian creativity was evident in many of these national projects. That’s just a sample of the arts diversity at SAC this year.

Ten Days On The Island brought Canadian story-teller Daniel Barrow to the Peacock Theatre with his animated, charming, poignant and personal tale Everytime I See Your Picture I Cry - delightful drawings illuminated on an old-tech classroom overhead projector - this was Ten Days incumbent Artistic Director Elizabeth Walsh’s final festival. Mid-year the annual Festival of Voices featured the extraordinary voice, energy, performances and workshops of Moira Smiley and other vocalists in the Peacock.

The second year of SAC’s new Tasmanian hybrid performance projects through HyPe and Nancy Mauro-Flude’s Error in Time () created debate – the audience questioned whether a performer on stage dialoguing through keyboard with a ‘bot’ conversationalist on screen was theatre. We say it was.

In Going Up, Amy Spiers and Pip Stafford investigated individual and collective comfort levels in a full lift, with participants confined and crammed together: performance and research.

Dis-covery, in the Long Gallery, was commissioned by SAC as our Ten Days On The Island major visual arts project, curated by Dr Colin Langridge, and offered multiple perspectives on romantic notions of islands through the eyes of artists from Tasmania, Queensland and the Torres Straits, New Zealand, Samoa, Mauritius and the United Kingdom. With CAST support, Dis-covery toured to Devonport Regional Gallery, and on to regional galleries in NSW. London-based Artist-in-Residence Lindsay Seers travelled on from Hobart to Queenstown for her immersive experience in Tasmania’s south-west hosted by Raymond Arnold’s LARQ program – and returned to Hobart 2 months later to install her work. The Gordon Darling Foundation provided valuable funds for the production of the Dis-covery catalogue.

National multi-cultural arts advocacy organisation Kultour supported the collaborative creative development residency by Indonesian Australian intercultural dancer and choreographer Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal, composer, musician and vocalist Ria Soemardjo, and lighting and new media artist Paula Van Beek; this new work, Opal Vapour, will be offered for national touring.

These examples are drawn from a rich year-round arts program developed and presented in SAC’s ecosystem of arts, artists, arts organisations, creative industries, retail galleries, festivals, professional development programs and events. SAC’s artist, audience and artform development programs, active community engagement, in-depth research and experimentation, and residencies bring international and national artists to Hobart, and our partnerships with the Tasmanian Polytechnic, University of Tasmania, CAST, Ten Days on the Island, Mobile States, Kultour, and SAC’s national touring exhibitions create underpin the cultural opportunities offered through the programs of the Arts Centre.

Arts Tasmania and Hobart City Council’s grant support contributed to SAC’s Arts Program. Their support enriches Hobart and Tasmania’s cultural life as SAC develops and presents, and tours Tasmanian projects, leveraging other grants within Tasmania and nationally. In particular, grants through the Australia Council for the Arts are now supporting several key programs and many more Tasmanian artists through Inter-Arts project support and the Theatre Board’s support of HyPe.

The Inter-Arts Office provided a valuable hybrid performance residency for Martyn Coutts, Ian Pidd, and Sam Routledge where they developed a suite of live art projects to publicly celebrate in 2012 SAC’s 35th anniversary inhabiting our heritage buildings. Kate McDonald, SAC’s Arts & Events Coordinator til 2010 now based in Queensland, worked on SAC35 project development from afar, making excellent use of skype.

TraiNiNg aNd EduCaTiONSAC’s SPACE Technical Theatre Diploma, now established for a decade and supported by Skills Tasmania and SAC’s partnership with the Tasmanian Polytechnic, graduated another highly skilled group of theatre technicians who can turn their hand to any performance context with confidence. Many have already worked with SAC and associated companies, projects, events and festivals. We are very proud of their achievements and that we contribute to the arts and community through this form of training and education.

NEW STaff appOiNTMENTSKelly Drummond Cawthon returned to Hobart after many years living, working and studying in the US, and joined SAC as fulltime Arts & Events Coordinator from 2011, bringing valuable dance, choreographic, performance studies and music theatre knowledge to the role, augmented by her extensive experience as an Arts Educator with the University of Florida. She took charge of HyPe and with the blessing of the Polytechnic we started to research our long-held hope for SPACE Performance through the establishment of a Diploma in Dance in Hobart, to fully option Kelly’s dance-education pedigree and the ever-growing interest in dance in Tasmania.

Writer Gabrielle Lis returned to Hobart to join us part-time as Communications Coordinator and, while expanding our digital communications, she significantly improved our syntax, expression, narrative, publicity and promotions.

KElly’S gardEN CuraTEd prOjECTSKelly’s Garden Curated Projects installation program was supported by both Arts Tasmania and Aspect Design, augmented by fund-raising through the Annual SAC Quiz Night, this year with an Antarctic theme celebrating the Centenary of Antarctic eExploration. The Kelly’s Garden program is well established and stimulating for the public and artists - intrigued locals and tourists are discovered in the garden, peering through the gate peepholes or over the wall from Kelly’s Steps. Anna Phillips’ cherry blossom grove of crocheted plastic bags proved particularly fascinating. Alongside the curated program, we host community access projects, including a partnership with the UTas Sculpture Department, offering students ‘real-life’ experience to test ideas in a challenging outdoor installation context.

COMMuNiTiES CONfErENCE, ChiCagO

In Chicago at a conference of funders, artists, policy-makers and arts residency

leaders, many from smaller regional arts centres, presentations and discussions

indicated close parallels to the history and development of our Australian arts

centres and programs. Baby-boomers there and here prioritised arts and

education, activating communities. Valuable stories and visits to Chicago’s arts

organisations and arts residency centres located through the city and suburbs

from gangland neighbourhoods, to regenerating urban and suburban centres,

provided insights to the challenges and commitment of Chicago’s activist arts

leaders. Private arts-based community regeneration projects run by dedicated

families, live-work spaces, university programs, and creative industry projects,

across all artforms were highlighted, along with diverse illustrated examples

presented within the conference sessions.

The Alliance of Artists Communities conference provided remarkable insights into

artists communities around the US and Latin America; it was illuminating and

moving to learn from these many dedicated passionate arts activists who are

achieving so much with relatively modest resources.

rEdMOON ThEaTEr

In 2007 SAC partnered with Redmoon Theater Chicago to achieve Dream Masons,

SAC’s 30th Anniversary project. In his home city I met with Redmoon’s Co-Artistic

Director Jim Lasko. Jim was invited into the Dream Masons collaboration with

Joey Ruigrok Van Der Werven by Jessica Wilson and still dreams of returning to

Tasmania. Redmoon operates from a vast labyrinth of factory scale warehouses,

their production base for creating giant spectacles through to intimate puppetry.

They were preparing for their annual fundraiser, still months away but a huge

event where volunteer performers, musicians and costumed waiters stage an

extravagant and unforgettable visual performance attracting thousands, from the

quietly wealthy and city celebrities through to glued on community supporters.

Chicago was suffering the GFC fall-out so there was concern about targets,

although Jim commented that while Redmoon had lost some high-end support,

their core of private financial donors remained steady. The funds raised enabled

Redmoon to perform free in Chicago’s poorer neighbourhoods.

uS-CaNada arTS STudy Trip

We continue to look beyond Tasmania to see how cultural centres elsewhere

serve their communities and meet challenges in their local contexts. On a study

trip to the US and Canada, I went behind the scenes of some of New York’s best

known museums, galleries, theatres and arts and educational organisations in

an intensive program which commenced with the City of New York’s Planning

Manager who talked about the regeneration of Harlem and the cultural impact of

the destruction of the twin towers.

With 10 Australian arts administrators and artists led by New York arts administrator

and diverse markets guru Donna Kuhne-Walker, we visited Harlem Community

Arts Centre, the Museum of the Native American, Metropolitan Museum of Art,

Brooklyn and Queens Museums, the Guggenheim Museum, the Queens Park

Theatre, the Apollo Theatre, Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre, Columbia University and

others. Extraordinary arts leaders shared how they operate in a cultural paradigm

of diverse communities, unrelenting post-GFC fund-raising, wooing wealthy

volunteers and donors so their organisations survive. I heard amazing music, saw

extraordinary theatre and art, and met inspiring hard-working passionate people

committed to creating the best arts opportunities that they could for their diverse

NYC communities.

TOrONTO arTSCapE

Toronto is where Artscape is based; when their CEO spoke at the Creative Clusters

Conference in London in 2007 a senior Canadian arts bureaucrat urged me to visit

Toronto to learn about Artscape in detail, recognising parallels with Salamanca

Arts Centre. Artscape started in the 80s recycling buildings as artists studios,

extending over time to full-scale mixed cultural development – they’re now working

with the City of Toronto, a mega-municipality with considerable funds and power,

to transform the city, integrating arts, education, good planning and community

development. I met with and attended a lecture and site tour of Wychwood Tram

Barns by CEO Tim Jones with a group of Masters Urban Planning students led

by Senior City Planner responsible for this City of Toronto/Artscape partnership

which resulted in an exemplary community mixed-use project and best-practice

model.

Toronto is a big city and Artscape has a big vision for their role in it. Significantly,

the City of Toronto trusts that vision. The partnership benefits are evident, and

Artscape is now described as ‘creative placemakers’. The lessons here for

Hobart and our State are about the dynamism of cultural transformation.

BOSTON

The Fort Point Arts Community, established

in Boston in 1980, is one of the largest artists

communities in north-east US. 19th century

warehouses, previously owned by a private

company of the Queen, are home to 300 artists

and artist live-work households. Their part-time

administrator, also an artist, generously shared

stories of ground-breaking achievements and

challenges, underlining the importance of

supportive city planning and leaders.

On a day trip to visit the remarkable Wendy

Woodson, Professor of Theater and Dance

at Amherst College, outstanding university

performance and visual arts facilities, programs,

and art museums of elite academies attended

by the wealthy, contrasted starkly with a white

weatherboard former textile mill, now a maze

of artists studios with very basic facilities.

Back in New York, and a seemingly impossible

self-imposed last day schedule: a symposium

on Latin architectural influences at the Bronx

Museum and Art Gallery, a matinee of War Horse

at the Lincoln Centre, a student recital of works

by a staff composer, a remarkable exhibition

of video works by Japanese-American artists

Eiko and Koma in the Public Library with the

artists present to wind up their several month

long project, and finally a Lincoln Centre jazz

recital.

This slice of American Life was geographically

contained but rich and insightful, with

applicable examples and ideas for the future for

the Tasmanian context. I returned with greater

knowledge and respect for the commitment

and hard work of many generous, politically,

culturally and socially concerned people.

2011 arTS aNd EvENTS rEpOrTSalaMaNCa arTS CENTrE arTS prOgraM - dEvElOpMENT aNd prESENTaTiON

In 2011 SAC’s Arts Program was rich with opportunities that ignited, inspired and supported

artists and audiences alike.

An open-access venue that models a new kind of artist-driven community institution,

SAC has a unique culture that fosters creative friendships and networking.

From workshops, master-classes, artist talks and forums with visiting national and

international artists and performers, through support with application writing, to ongoing

programs that assist in the development and presentation of new work, Salamanca Arts

Centre’s Arts Program continues to offer something for artists at every stage of their creative

development, and experiences for diverse audiences that are challenging, welcoming and

transformative.

Ambitious and forward-thinking curatorial vision supporting Tasmanian artists whose

practice is concerned with experimentation, research and the investigation of ideas and

that take conceptual leaps challenge and transform the existing boundaries of traditional

performance and theatre-making.

SAC’s Arts Program is difficult to divide by practice, aligning SAC with the best of new

arts practice internationally. Our Gallery residencies involve sound artists and theatre

artists are attending live art workshops. Productions and exhibitions are routinely in that

liminal space between art forms. Artists who find their way to SAC are increasingly

practicing in exciting and innovative hybrid forms, and audiences are experiencing the

new art-form compounds across our venues.

arTiST aNd arT-fOrM dEvElOpMENT prOgraMHighlights of the Artist and Art-form Development Program included a one-day

workshop with the 2011 Mobile States Tour of My Darling Patricia’s AFRICA Performers,

puppeteers and theatre creators Clare Britton and Sam Routledge took participants

across diverse artistic disciplines through exercises encouraging the imagination of a

space for visual theatre work in which images are as important as narrative.

Joey Ruigrok van der Werven, Dream Masons co-creator, returned to SAC and

shared new thoughts and experience on European and Australian spectacle

theatre-making gained from his Australia Council Theatre Board fellowship. Joey

took his lecture and workshop nationally and his insights on large-scale image-

driven theatre were of particular interest here in Tasmania where many artists had

participated in or seen Dream Masons. Joey’s intimate relationship with form and

material and his unique approach to combining the technical and artistic shed

new light on Australian epic theatre-making.

rESidENCiESSAC’s artist residency program continues to provide artists with a supportive arts community

where they can focus on their artistic practice and research. Provided time and space away

from their usual environment, artists are encouraged to explore their practice within the Tasmanian

arts community, emphasizing the importance of meaningful and multi-layered cultural exchange.

In an Australia Council Interarts residency, inter-disciplinary audio-visual artist Robin Fox spent

part of the summer in the Long Gallery. In this Antarctic Centenary year, the focus of his research

was the sonification and visualization of data extracted from wave-rider buoys off the coast of

Tasmania. Aided by the data-gathering capabilities of the CSIRO, Fox transformed the wave

motions of the Southern Ocean into sound and light, creating a stunningly beautiful refracted

laser beam visual and a multi-channel sound work.

rESEarCh fOr SaC35In another Australia Council Interarts supported collaborative project residency, Ian Pidd,

Martyn Coutts and Sam Routledge explored the past, present and future of the Salamanca

Arts Centre and the Salamanca-Battery Point precinct. They delved into the geography of

place and people; the eco-system of the Arts Centre and surrounding areas, and creatively

investigated pathways and intersections between SAC and the community. The residency’s

overarching aim was to generate a series of project ideas that could be commissioned for the

SAC’s 35th Anniversary in the iconic heritage buildings. Their collaboration culminated in exciting

ideas for new live-art works, possible commissionings, and how to curate existing works into a

highly engaging, playful, carefully constructed program of multiple independent and interlocking

short works and collaborations that revives and introduces important stories and histories in a

relevant contemporary way.

KulTOurThe 2011 Kultour Opal Vapour residency and presentation of 6/7 Empty by Indonesian

Australian choreographer/ dancer Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal, composer/musician Ria

Soemardjo, and theatre/image maker Paula Van Beek provided a unique opportunity for local

dancers, visual artists, musicians and designers to witness and provide feedback on the creation

of a new performance that explores the loss of ritual in contemporary culture.

NEW WOrK dEvElOpMENT aNd prESENTaTiON: hypE & MOBilE STaTESSACs HyPe program awarded six Creative Shots new work development as artist fees.

Emerging artists attended a workshop in Hobart in July, then participated in Junction Arts Festival

in August, and created site-specific performative installations in Hobart in September.

HyPe 2011 presented showings of new Tasmanian work by artists Sean Munro, Sally Davis,

Selena de Carvalho, Jason James, Amy Spiers and Pip Stafford. Local artists and audiences

came together in the Sidespace and Long Gallery for challenging, innovative and forward-looking

work. Following short presentations by the artists, Annette Downs offered a provocative artist

and audience forum - a chance for audiences to talk directly with the artists about their process,

providing an insiders’ look at hybrid performance.

In Error in Time(), Nancy Mauro Flude created a solo new-media theatre exploration offering performative insight

and reflection on our relationship with machines, especially personal computers. “Is this theatre?” was a key question

provoked by this work, an excellent outcome for this excellent project.

Sara Ferrington set up an ‘office’ (a desk and/or a small shade tent) in public spaces in and around SAC and offered her

services to the public as a freelance PA to do those annoying little jobs. Sara used Twitter, Facebook and a blog for people

to send her jobs. She promoted her PA services and documented the results of each PA performance.

new and (22) existing artworks by Diane Allison (Tas), Raymond Arnold (Tas), Serena Giovanna

Stevenson (NZ), Shigeyuki Kihara (NZ), Sanja Pahoki (Vic), Brian Robinson (Qld), Lindsay Seers

(UK), Amanda Shone (Tas), Tim Silver (NSW), Samuel Tupou (Qld/NZ) and Tony Whincup (NZ). UK

artist Lindsay Seers undertook a residency in Queenstown over December 2010-January 2011

resulting in the production of major new video installation works for the exhibition which will be

further developed in various forms for subsequent solo exhibitions.

Dis-covery attracted an audience of 4000 before touring to Devonport where 3000 more experienced

this thoughtful, gently provocative exhibition, including school groups, guided tours, local, national

and international visitors. The full colour catalogue with Artists’ Statements, was generously supported

by the Gordon Darling Foundation, with preface by SAC’s CEO/Artistic Director Rosemary Miller,

introduction by Curator Dr Colin Langridge, catalogue essay by Associate Professor Elaine Stratford of

University of Tasmania, and design by Sarah Owen Design. Dis-covery also tours to NSW’s Goulburn

Regional Art Gallery and Tamworth Regional Gallery in 2012-13.

ACCESS GALLERIES

Lightbox, Studio and Top Gallery programs featured principally emerging Tasmanian artists, providing

an important high profile stepping stone to the world of the professional practicing and exhibiting artist.

Sidespace Gallery, Long Gallery and Kelly’s Garden presented emerging, mid-career and experienced

artists, all of exemplary standard. Exhibitions (listed further back) of printmaking, sculpture, photography,

installation, painting, drawing and new media works, provided audiences with a diversity of artistic

engagement and something new and enriching to experience with each SAC visit.

iN 2011 SpaCE aChiEvEd lONgSTaNdiNg gOalS:

1. Increased rate of certification for Certificate level qualifications

2. Higher retention rate to full Diploma qualification

These goals were achieved as the result of the playing out of a range of strategies

that have been in place for the past three years including:

• course restructuring initiatives,

• improved marketing,

• professional development activities,

• more efficient training methods,

• deployment of new resources,

• administrative efficiencies

SpaCE/pOlyTEChNiC aWardEd:

Seven Certificate IIIs in Live Production (250% increase on 2010) and

Two Diplomas of Live Production, Theatre and Events (100% increase on 2010)

SPACE began the year with 13 students enrolled.

• three students enrolled in 2nd Year (2010 = 5)

• nine students enrolled in 1st Year (2010 = 11)

• one returning 2nd Year student seeking to gain Competence in a selection of

units through a combination of RPL and formal training

Total nominal hours delivered in 2011 by SPACE were approximately 10,500.

Student feedback indicates a high level of satisfaction with the course.

In 2011, although total enrolments were a little lower than 2010, retention rates to

second year and percentage of students completing the Diploma were higher.

Six 2011 First Year students intend to return in 2012 to complete Diploma or

Certificate IV qualifications.

SPACE continues to strengthen its connections with the local industry through

placements and through the casual employment of experienced industry

professionals as project supervisors. During 2011 SPACE students worked on

industry placements on a range of events produced and presented by Salamanca

Arts Centre, Ten Days on the Island, The Festival of Voices, and the Tasmanian

Theatre Company. These industry connections result in offers of employment for past and present

students with both of our 2011 Diploma graduates already working in positions with Wrest Point

Casino and Big Monkey Theatre (Botanic Gardens productions). 2010 graduates have been

employed in responsible positions at the Theatre Royal, the Tasmanian Theatre Company and

other organisations. Current first year students have also gained casual employment with a range

of arts organisations, production houses and.

The SPACE Production Coordinator (2009-11), Nicole Schiwy, departed to pursue her career in

Melbourne. Nicole played a key role in restructuring the delivery and assessment of SPACE’s

Core units.

SPACE intends to broaden unit offerings in 2012 to include Audio-Visual units: one unit in First

Year and two units in Second Year. The ability to set up and operate audio-visual equipment (data

projectors, vision-mixers, computer-based video software) will give graduates a suite of skills

and knowledge now increasingly important for corporate events, multi-media productions and

hybrid arts projects. In consultation with the Mount Nelson Theatre manager SPACE will purchase

additional AV equipment for training purposes.

In 2012 SPACED (Technical) will further improve training for aspiring live events technicians in

this state and consolidate our growing reputation as significant factor in the development of

Tasmania’s creative industries.

2011 MarKETiNg aNd COMMuNiCaTiONS SAC’s marketing and communications priorities in 2011 were to:

• increase awareness of SAC’s visual and performing arts programs,

• attract audiences to SAC’s creative offerings,

• create and strengthen mutually beneficial publicity arrangements with relevant

organisations, and

• communicate SAC’s vision for the arts within Tasmania and beyond.

Working within a limited budget, advertising dollars were allocated to a strategic mix of local and national

print and online publications, local radio, statewide television, and specialised and general media. Targeted

marketing collateral was produced for specific performing arts events, and for the Arts Centre overall, and

distributed locally, national and internationally.

The majority of SAC’s marketing and communications strategies in 2011, however, were low or no cost. These

included:

• SAC’s long-running What’s On e-newsletter

• The development of reciprocal, project-based publicity arrangements with the Tasmanian

Symphony Orchestra, the Tasmanian Theatre Company and others, allowing SAC to tap

into existing networks of creative consumers

• In-kind investments, for example a deal with SAUCE street press whereby SAC secured

naming rights for a monthly Arts Events Guide without cash payment

• Strengthening of SAC’s social media presence

Gabrielle Lis Coordinator In terms of ticket sales achieved, community radio (Edge Radio) demonstrated a high return on

investment, as did the e-newsletter, newspaper editorial coverage and word of mouth.

Throughout 2011 SAC secured extensive editorial coverage in Tasmanian press (mainstream and

street press), consistent mentions in national press (The Australian, Real Time and Arts Hub, and

was featured on radio and television at least once per month, with resident organisations’ events

also regularly featuring.

Editorial highlights of 2011 included:

• Images of dancer Gabrielle Nankivell leading a workshop of 30 Ogilvie High School

students, which were featured in the online and print versions of the Mercury, and on WIN

and Southern Cross TV news. (pictured above)

• Robert Jarman’s review of The Harry Harlow Project, which described the opening night

performance (featured in SAC’s Mobile States Mini Festival) as “the best thing I’ve seen in

a very long time.” (The Mercury, 18.8.11)

• July 2011 cover story of Strata magazine.

Significant progress was made throughout 2011 towards the launch of SAC’s new website, with

the site expected to go live in early 2012. Improvements were also made to the ticketing system,

contacts database and e-newsletter format, and strategies for ongoing improvement in these

areas established.

Strengthened cooperative marketing relationships with relevant organisations, publications

and communities raised the profile of significant SAC initiatives with key markets, benefiting in

particular Mobile States, HyPe and the Kelly’s Garden Curated Program.

During 2011 SAC Building and Facilities Management made significant advances towards the pursuit of excellence in

the provision of facilities for practicing artists, arts organisations and arts retailers in Tasmania and practitioners from

interstate and overseas.

As SAC’s portfolio of facilities encompasses artists’ studios, suites of offices, large and small retail outlets, a café and

restaurant, meeting rooms, indoor and outdoor exhibition and performance spaces, galleries and kitchens, there is

considerable opportunity for gauging the needs and expectations of the users of our facilities.

Those needs and expectations have changed significantly over the last decade:

• venues need to provide more performance or exhibition delivery options,

• studios and offices need to provide more thermal comfort and sound separation,

• retail spaces need the utility to provide a wider range of arts based retail applications.

The evolutionary nature of the delivery of arts and culture has placed new demands on contemporary arts venues.

The demarcation of performance in the theatre, visual arts in the galleries and film in the cinema has fragmented to

accommodate the needs of multi-arts, hybrid and inter-disciplinary practitioners.

Since the Peacock Theatre acquired a permanently mounted HD

data projector in 2006 (generously provided by the Tasmanian

Community Fund), the theatre has been adapted to showcase

multi-disciplinary work, including simultaneous image projection,

film, sound and performance, even adapting dressing rooms, storage

areas and the workshop for installations and live-art projects.

The Long Gallery has evolved from a colonial warehouse space into

a multi-arts installation and performance space with modifications

including high-density demountable walls that can be assembled to

black-out the gallery, data projection points for multiple screenings,

demountable screen panels for projecting over rough-cast walls and

black curtains for isolating components of the gallery. The Top Gallery has

also been fitted with window panels and projector mounting points.

In other parts of SAC thermal and acoustic comfort levels have been

addressed in many offices and studios. When the buildings were first

converted into an arts centre 35 years ago (by tireless volunteers) many of the

partition walls separating tenancies were built no more than 2.4 metres high to

save time and construction costs. While a practical solution in the late 1970’s

early 80’s, the expectations of tenancies and visitors have risen considerably in

the 21st Century. A program of lining and insulating working spaces has been

operating since 2009 with 50% of the first floor tenancies of SAC’s western wing

having been completed. Walls in 2nd floor studios are gradually being insulated

and extended up to the roof structure to improve thermal and acoustic comfort.

In areas of the Arts Centre flooring needs to be brought up to standard. A change of

tenancy in Space 109 (now Nolan Art) allowed SAC’s maintenance team to address

structural impediments across the space, sound travel from the café below and an

overly springy sloping floor. A new insulated floor was constructed above the old one

providing a much improved and safer working environment.

Retail tenancies are also adapting to changing needs and expectations of a demanding

business environment. Shops are refitted as access allows: Space 012 in 2010, now

Artefacts, and Space 021 [spacebar gallery]. Space 003, now A Common Ground, received

many improvements to allow display and stocki of fresh Tasmanian produce and was fitted

with hot and cold running water, sink with pumped waste, exposed walls, new floor and more

electrical circuits.

1 SuMMary Of SigNifiCaNT aCCOuNTiNg pOliCiES

(a) General Information

The financial report is for Salamanca Arts Centre as an individual entity, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

Salamanca Arts Centre is a company limited by guarantee.

(b) Basis of Preparation

The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the company is a non-reporting entity because

there are no users dependent on general purpose financial reports. These financial statements are therefore special

purpose financial statements that have been prepared in order to meet the requirements of the Corporations Act

2001.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the mandatory Australian Accounting Standards

applicable to entities reporting under the Corporations Act 2001 and the significant accounting policies disclosed

below which the directors have determined are appropriate to meet the needs of members. Such accounting policies

are consistent with the previous period unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs unless otherwise

stated in notes. The accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation of these statements are as follows.

(c) Comparative Figures

When appropriate comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current

financial year.

(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short term highly liquid

investments and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities on the

statement of financial position.

(e) Trade and other receivables

The company provides an allowance for losses on trade receivables based on a review of the current status of existing

receivables and management’s evaluation of periodic aging of accounts.

(f)Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any

accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Leasehold Property

The Arts Centre lease was brought to account during 1998 based upon a Colliers Jardine valuation of

November 1995. Leasehold Improvements and office equipment are carried at cost less, where

applicable,any accumulated depreciation.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less, where applicable, any accumulated

depreciation.

Depreciation and Amortisation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised l

eased assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the

asset’s useful life to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

48

49

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease

or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

Capital expenditure from the receipt of grant funding is recognised as an expense in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income.The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset

Arts Centre Lease at Valuation 1%

Office Furniture and Equipment 15%

Peacock Theatre Equipment 15%

Leasehold improvements 2.5%

Theatre Improvements 2.5%

1 Kelly Street - Writers Cottage 10%

(g) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date.

Employee benefits have been measured at their nominal amount (including on-costs). This year is a change from previous years where

on-costs were not included. The impact for the 2011 year is an additional charge of $11,105. Sick leave has not been accrued at all.

It is the company’s policy to provide a benefit of thirteen weeks of long service leave after ten years. A pro rata benefit is brought to

account after an employee obtains seven years of service. Contributions made by the company to an employee superannuation fund

are charged as expenses when incurred.

(h) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable

that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

(i) Revenue and Other Income

Grant revenue is recognised over the period to which the Grant agreements relate.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

Interest revenue is recognised over the period in which the funds were invested.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

Rent revenue from rental properties and leases is recognised when the company has the right to receive the rent in accordance with

the rental agreements.

Other revenue is recognised when the right to receive the revenue has been established.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(j) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable

from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item

of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing

activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows’

(k) Income Tax

No provision for income tax has been raised as the company is exempt from income tax under Div 50 of the Income Tax Assessment

Act 1997.

(l) Leases

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses

in the periods in which they are incurred.

(m) Trade payables

Trade and other payables are stated at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these liabilities.

(n) Unexpended Grant Funds

It is the policy of the company to treat grant monies as unexpended grant liabilities in the statement of financial position where the

association is contractually obliged to provide the services in a subsequent financial period to when the grant is received or in the case

of specific project grants where the project has not been completed.

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial statements, being special purpose financial statements, of Salamanca Arts Centre, which comprises the statement of financial

position as at 31 December 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended that date, a

summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements and have determined that the accounting policies described

in Note 1 to the financial statements, which form part of the financial statements, are appropriate to meet the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and are appropriate

to meet the needs of the members. The directors’ responsibility also includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair

presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and

making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing

Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether

the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s

judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor

considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of

accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the

Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Salamanca Arts Centre, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the time of the auditor’s

report.

Opinion

In our opinion the financial statements presents fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position of the Salamanca Arts Centre as at 31 December 2011 and its financial

performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting

Interpretations) to the extent described in Note 1.

Basis of Accounting

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared

for the purpose of fulfilling the director’s financial reporting responsibilities under the Corporations Act 2001. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another

purpose.
