For Arts Industry
We're backing WA artists and arts workers with free opportunities in 2025. Connect for Arts Industry 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. See the opportunities we're offering below and check back as we announce more details about the classes, workshops and activities we’re planning.

Expand your practice and spend some time learning from Festival artists in these workshops and masterclasses. We’re bringing you professional development, cross-disciplinary concepts, and deeper engagement with these opportunities.
The first workshop will go live in December with more sessions announced in January.
Industry Screenings

Some screenings also feature Q&A's and curated talks with creators and local practitioners to join in thoughtful discussions throughout the cinema season.
