In an Australian first, potential art buyers will be able to acquire original Tasmanian pieces using interest free loans under the Collect Art Purchase Scheme. The Minister for Environment, Parks, Heritage and the Arts, Michelle O’Byrne, today launched the scheme, which will see eleven commercial galleries across the State offering the 12 month interest free loans. “I am thrilled that we are leading the country with this opportunity to encourage and enable people to buy Tasmanian artworks,” Ms O’Byrne said. “We have such a wealth of highly creative and successful artists in this state. It is important that their work is seen not just locally, but nationally as well.”
