Here at Perth International Arts Festival we've been thinking of ways to entice you – as a local practising artist or aspiring arts student to engage more deeply in what we do both at Festival time and throughout the year.

So, we're thrilled to announce a new initiative called Vital Stages which will be a platform for unique artistic opportunities for local artists to engage through Perth International Arts Festival over the next four years. Vital Stages activities will take on many forms across all artistic disciplines through interaction with the artists we present at the Festival and beyond: from opportunities to participate directly in the creation or presentation of work; to workshops, master classes and professional development events.

Sign up here for the Vital Stages e-news to receive the latest info about opportunities to work and play with the Festival and our guests. Register your interest now!
