WELCOME Perth Festival curates and presents an annual arts festival of the highest international quality. We aspire to create new work and stimulate discourse about Western Australia and our place in a complex and political world.
The Festival’s ambition is to lift audience expectations and opportunities for Western Australian arts practice, contributing to a vibrant and resilient culture.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Wendy Martin, Perth Festival has committed to presenting work by the world’s leading artists with disability. This commitment addresses a core value of the Festival’s artistic vision to celebrate difference and develop diverse audiences.
In partnership with DADAA, Perth Festival will champion accessibility for artists and audiences. This partnership will create opportunities for a dynamic exchange of ideas and practice between visiting international artists with disability and the Western Australian and national arts community and audiences.
If you require additional information, please contact us on 08 6488 8616 or [email protected] and we will be happy to assist. Further information can also be found on our website perthfestival.com.au
