Major Production Fund

The Fund recognises that ambitious works, of an international calibre, require considerable investment.

It will enable innovative, large-scale works to be produced by Western Australian artists and arts organisations and premiered to the WA community, before going on to be presented nationally or internationally.

 

The work created, which may be in any artform*, will play a significant role in raising the profile and recognition of Western Australia’s arts and cultural sector.
