Its provenance is traceable from the foundation of Chameleon contemporary art space in 1982, through 20 years operating as Contemporary Art Services Tasmania (CAST) and, from 2013, as Contemporary Art Tasmania.

The organisation is a member of the Contemporary Art Organisations (Australia) national network (CAOA), NETS Australia (National Exhibitions Touring Support) and is assisted by the Australia Council for the Arts, Arts Tasmania, and through the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy.
