ASSEMBLY 197
RESOUNDINGLY TASMANIAN.
REGIONALLY PROUD.
On the banks of Launceston’s Kanamaluka River, in the heart of Lutruwita, ASSEMBLY 197 is the connective tissue among artists, audiences, and communities.
VISION
A hub that vibrates with life and inspires artistic practice, where we face challenges together and share our successes. A home for always learning and expanding our awareness of different ways of working — some of which are yet to be imagined.
A197 PORTFOLIOS
As our work continues to evolve across local, national, and international contexts, we’ve restructured to strengthen our capacity, sharpen our focus, and support sustainability across all we do.
ASSEMBLY 197 has adopted five key A197 Portfolios, ensuring that our growing organisation remains robust and has strong systems that support the creative ambition of all the artists we work with. The evolution reflects our commitment to supporting artists and to responding to the unique challenges and opportunities of our time.
