Access
Each year, we seek to reduce barriers to access so that as many people as possible can engage with the Festival. Some of the initiatives developed to ensure we remain a Festival for all people includes Auslan interpreted events and audio described performances, Creative Learning Programs, Community Partners Programs and free access events.
With your help we can continue to break down further barriers to access, sharing art with as many people as possible throughout the Western Australian community.
Sector Development
The Festival provides annual artistic opportunities, skills development and jobs for hundreds of people in WA.
Through the Connect for Arts Industry program local artists and arts workers can participate in programs including Festival Lab, Producer Forum, Fuel for mid-career artists and Industry Panel Sessions with leaders in the field.
Your support will help us to promote and embolden the entire Western Australian arts sector and expand these annual programs and opportunities for artists.
