2011 Chair’s Report
Ron Gifford
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 Membership
Salamanca 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 Context
As 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 Research
In 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 - Headlease
Salamanca 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 Tasmania
The 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 Council
We 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.)
3
4
In 2011 too, planning and discussions between HCC and SAC
worked towards the next 20 year lease to HCC of the groundfloor Public Toilet facilities, with upgrade plans and scheduling
of works. The previous lease expired in July 2011.
Princes Wharf 1
In 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 Support
Salamanca 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 Discovery, and the Theatre Board supported
HyPe. Mobile States is supported by the
Australia Council’s Theatre, Dance and
Inter-Arts programs.
Other Valued Supporters
Other 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 CEO/Artistic director’s report
Rosemary Miller
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 Context
We 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 MauroFlude’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 InterArts 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 Education
SAC’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.
Kelly’s Garden Curated Projects
Kelly’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 e
Exploration. 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.
New Staff Appointments
Kelly 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.

2011 Arts and Events report
Salamanca 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

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 Program
Highlights 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 imagedriven 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.

Residencies
SAC’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 SAC35
In 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.
Kultour
The 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.

by Australia’s new wave of visual theatre award-winning company My Darling
Patricia, the hurtling, poetic physicality of Gabrielle Nankivell’s I left my shoes
on warm concrete and stood in the rain, the moving postmodern ritual
of IHOS Opera’s Kimisis – Falling Asleep, James Saunders’ indie black
comedy The Harry Harlow Project and mesmerising installation Vivaria from
dance filmmaker Samuel James.
Sound 2 Light, a night of cross media collaboration curated by Jason James
& Christopher Norman was presented on-site at SAC in the Long Gallery

Dis-covery curated by Dr Colin Langridge was commissioned by Salamanca Arts Centre as SAC’s
2011 major exhibition, opened during Ten Days on the Island and continued for a further month.
This exhbition brought together 11 artists from islands around the world providing new artistic
perspectives on the way islands have been romanticised. The exhibition presented both (17)
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.

SPACE (Technical) Program Report Guy Hooper Coordinator
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
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
Gabrielle

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.
SAC’s marketing and communications priorities in 2011 were to:
• increase awareness of SAC’s visual and performing arts programs,

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.
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.
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

considerable opportunity for gauging the needs and expectations of the users of our facilities.
Retail tenancies are also adapting to changing needs and expectations of a demanding
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.
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.
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.

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
(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.
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
SUPPORTERS & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FOR SAC ANNUAL REPORT 2011
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.
