Showcase

We are proud to promote participation and achievement in culture and arts by showcasing the creativity, skill and talent of WA artists and arts organisations who tell WA’s unique stories.

The department aims to grow and sustain thriving culture, arts and creative industries in Western Australia, contributing to the prosperity and diversity of the WA economy.

We support a sustainable arts and cultural sector that facilitates social and economic wellbeing by providing research, policy, information and support.
