For Arts Industry
We're backing WA artists and arts workers with free opportunities.
Our Arts Industry program offers opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing and ways to push your practice. We encourage cross-border collaboration and convergence by providing space for you to create connections with peers throughout our neighbouring region.
Our programs are aimed at artists, curators and collaborators making work in all art forms and those who do both.
