Who Are We?
Country Arts WA is a dynamic and flexible not-for-profit, membership based organisation focused on supporting arts and cultural development across regional Western Australia.
The role of Country Arts WA is to enable and empower regional Western Australians to develop and enrich their communities through engagement with culture and the arts.
Country Arts WA delivers a range of arts development and performing arts touring programs on behalf of the State and Federal governments. These include funding for arts projects, large and small, support for key regional arts organisations, youth specific projects, and an extensive professional performing arts touring program.
Country Arts WA also provides advice and information to regional artists and community groups and plays a vital role in advocating to the three tiers of government, the business sector and community organisations on behalf of the regional arts sector.
We are a membership-based organisation whose members are primarily country-based practitioners and supporters of the arts. Find out how you can become a Member here
