Tasmanian Citizens draw to the attention of the House the recent decision by Arts Tasmania to de-fund Edge Radio's unique 'New Media Arts Producer Initiative' which showcases new visual artists on a monthly basis allowing them opportunities not available elsewhere to exhibit and discuss their work through the new media channels provided by the radio station and its website. Your petitioners, therefore, reuest the House to call on Arts Tasmania to reverse their decision to de-fund the 'New Media Arts Producer Initiative'.
