Young People and the Arts Program

Showcasing the pre-eminent art collection in Western Australia

Young People and the Arts Program

The Young People and the Arts Panel assesses applications for arts activity for, with and by young people aged 26 years and younger. This funding assists young people's access to, and participation in, a broad range of arts and culture.

The Panel is made up of young artists and arts workers with diverse arts expertise.

The Program supports all artforms, excluding film, television and radio.  Projects which use film and video in a multi artform context are welcome. Speak to the Young People and the Arts Project Officer about eligibility, if you are not sure.
