At PICA we recognise that we are situated within the unceded lands of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation. We pay our respects and offer our gratitude to Elders past and present, and to those emerging leaders in the community. We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the importance of their care and continued connection to culture, community and Country.
Always was, always will be.
Galleries are open, 12–5pm. Our exhibitions are always free.
PICA’s opening season for 2025, presented as part of Perth Festival, invites you on an immersive journey into identity, connection and the legacies we carry.
Discover transformative stories that explore family, cultural heritage, and the interplay of past and present through powerful multimedia installations, evocative films, and unique site-specific works. With over 30 years at the forefront of contemporary arts, PICA offers a space where complex narratives can unfold, creating meaningful dialogue between local and international voices. By engaging with these deeply personal and shared histories, we are encouraged to reflect on—and perhaps better understand—our own stories.
Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) runs a year-round program of art, exhibitions, contemporary performance, dance, theatre, music and events. We’re home to one of the largest art exhibition and gallery spaces in Australia and are known for the leading role we play in supporting artists to present challenging ideas and boundary-defining new work.
