In time to celebrate twenty years of Mural Fest later this year, the Sheffield-based festival will benefit from funding for new weatherproof screens as part of the 2023 Hydro Tasmania Community Grant program.

Kentish Arts, Commerce and Tourism Inc was awarded $5,000 to assist with purchasing the new weatherproof screens which will help protect artists and their work at the popular outdoor festival.

Thanks to the Hydro Tasmania Community Grant program, a total of $27,000 was allocated to six deserving community groups.

The community grant program is now in its seventh year, with grants awarded up to a total of $5,000 to organisations across the state.

Hydro Tasmania’s Community Advisor, Kate Hickey, said that Hydro Tasmania has a long history of supporting the community with these grants.

“The grants provide a positive impact to Tasmanians. We look forward to seeing these projects come to life for these deserving community groups and congratulate the recipients for 2023,” Ms Hickey said.
