CreateSA

{{Short description|South Australian government agency}} {{Use dmy dates|date=July 2019}} {{Use Australian English|date=July 2019}} '''CreateSA''' is a business unit within the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) of the Government of South Australia, responsible for funding for the arts and the cultural heritage in South Australia. It originated as a separate agency called '''Arts South Australia''' (later '''Arts SA''') in around 1996. In 2019 most of its functions were taken over by the DPC under Premier Steven Marshall, while some went to the Department for Education and others to the Department for Innovation and Skills. In September 2023, under the Malinauskas government, the arts were once again brought together under DPC. On 31 March 2025, as part of the new 10-year cultural policy, "A Place to Create", Arts SA was officially renamed CreateSA. Andrea Michaels, as Minister the Arts, is responsible for the body and the policy.

==History== ===Arts SA/Arts South Australia=== Arts SA was created primarily as a funding body around 1996,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ausstage.edu.au/pages/organisation/39651|website=The Australian Live Performance Database|title=Organisation: Department for the Arts South Australia|access-date=29 July 2019}}</ref>{{#tag:ref|The date was arrived at by interrogating the SLSA catalogue [https://www.catalog.slsa.sa.gov.au/ here]. Previous to 1996, records were linked to the Dept for the Arts & Cultural Development (1993/4–1996), Dept for the Arts & Cultural Heritage (c.1991–3) and Dept for the Arts (1987–1990).|group=Note}} at which time it fell under the Department of Transport, Urban Planning and the Arts (DTUPA).<ref>{{cite report |title=Annual report, 1999–2000|author=Government of South Australia. Department for Transport, Urban Planning and the Arts|date=2000}}</ref> It was responsible for the development of and funding for the arts sector within South Australia, and was responsible for nine statutory corporations and a number of not-for-profit arts organisations.

In September 1997, Arts Minister Diana Laidlaw and then new CEO Timothy O'Louglin completely restructured Arts SA. Previously, it had operated under art form divisions, but the new structure created three divisions: arts leadership, professional development and emerging artists; cultural tourism and export; and the development of new commissions, events and festivals.<ref name=artlink>{{cite web|website=Artlink|author=Edblog|url=https://www.artlink.com.au/articles/2544/artrave/|title=Artrave|access-date=3 August 2019}}</ref>

From 2015 until August 2018, Arts South Australia was headed by Peter Louca, former chief of staff to Minister Jack Snelling<ref>[http://indaily.com.au/politics/2015/11/19/labor-power-plays-as-jay-keeps-faction-in-check/ "Labor Power Plays as Jay Keeps Faction in Check", inDaily]</ref> and one-time Labor Party candidate for the federal seat of Mayo.<ref name="louca">{{Cite news|url=https://www.adelaidereview.com.au/arts/peter-louca-future-arts-south-australia/|title=Peter Louca: "I think our best years are ahead of us." |date=2016-08-10|work=The Adelaide Review|access-date=2018-05-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160815030854/https://www.adelaidereview.com.au/arts/peter-louca-future-arts-south-australia/ |archive-date=2016-08-15 |url-status=live}}</ref> Peter Louca instigated the re-branding of Arts SA to Arts South Australia in 2016.<ref name="louca" />

==Responsibilities (current)== ===Artlab Australia===  Artlab Australia is a government agency that "provides expert services for the preservation, care and management of the state's cultural collections". It works mainly for and in collaboration with major South Australian collecting institutions, but also provides services and support for collections that are maintained by various communities around the country as well as internationally, on a fee-for-service basis.<ref name=aboutartlab>{{cite web | title=About | website=Artlab Australia | date=1 July 2020 | url=https://www.artlabaustralia.au/about | access-date=24 September 2025}} Text may have been copied from this source, which is available under a [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/ Attribution 3.0 Australia (CC BY 3.0 AU)] licence.</ref>

Established as the State Conservation Centre of South Australia in 1985, the unit has been located in the North Terrace cultural precinct since its beginning, between the Migration Museum and the Art Gallery of South Australia<ref name=ANZTLA>{{cite journal| title= Artlab Australia| journal= ANZTLA Newsletter| issue=39| first=Ian| last=Cook| pages=15–17}}</ref> (street address 70 Kintore Avenue<ref>{{cite web | title=Contact | website=Artlab Australia | date=24 January 2023 | url=https://www.artlabaustralia.au/contact | access-date=11 December 2023}}</ref>).

The specialist staff who work on the conservation of materials are mostly graduates of a University of Canberra program on the Conservation of Cultural Materials. They are qualified to work on a range of materials, including paper, photographs, textiles, sculptures, and heritage building features in the laboratories, and also provide advice on optimum storage conditions for collections. Artlab serves libraries, museums, art galleries, Aboriginal art and craft centres, and many other clients. Artlab Australia is one of few rare book conservation services in Australia,<ref name=ANZTLA/> and also cares for large technology items.<ref name=about/> Other conservation and restoration of other types include "murals and decorative paintwork, historic interiors, mosaic and terrazzo floors, stained glass windows, carved timberwork, carpets and curtains, furniture and other fittings such as lights, balustrades and decorative railings".<ref name=sub2005>{{cite web| url=https://www.pc.gov.au/inquiries/completed/heritage/submissions/artlab_australia/sub140.pdf| title=Productivity Commission: Conservation of historic heritage places: Submission to the public inquiry on behalf of Artlab Australia| date=2005| author=Artlab Australia}}</ref>

Restoration projects have included the reredos at St Peter's Cathedral, Adelaide and chapels at New Norcia monastery in Western Australia. Artlab has also undertaken several projects outside of Australia, including cultural preservation in Bali in partnership with the Indonesian Government and others, funded by the World Bank, and work in Taipei and Hong Kong.<ref name=ANZTLA/>

Artlab's services include disaster preparedness planning, environmental management of display and storage conditions in order to prevent deterioration, and research and analysis that contributes to both the development of conservation practice and to a greater knowledge and understanding of cultural artefacts and works of art. It also offers preventive conservation for collections, training of conservators through internships, conservation capacity building projects overseas, and education and advisory services to support communities in the preservation of their cultural heritage.<ref name=about/> Artlab has given courses in several Asian countries, and in 1999 developed a training package called reCollections.<ref name=ANZTLA/>

As of 2005, Artlab Australia employed 25 staff, which made it the largest conservation facility in Australia. It operated as a business enterprise within Arts SA, with initial investment made by the South Australian government and possessing the capability and policy to run a commercial service. At that time, Artlab warned of the "critical skills shortage...within the heritage industry", and the need for providing courses for people to become stone masons, wheelwrights, carriage makers, and gilders.<ref name=sub2005/>

On 12 September 2024, Sarah Feijen was appointed as the director of Artlab Australia.<ref>{{cite web | title=Welcoming Artlab's New Director | website=Artlab Australia | date=12 September 2024 | url=https://www.artlabaustralia.au/news/welcoming-artlabs-new-director | access-date=24 September 2025}}</ref>
