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.

We are closed today. Our exhibitions are always free.

2025 Judy Wheeler Commission

Call out for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Artists 

Expressions of Interest are now open for the 2025 Judy Wheeler Commission. 

Entering its third year, the Judy Wheeler Commission is a 10-year site-specific commissioning program established in memory of the late Judy Wheeler, generously supported by the Simpson Family.

In 2025 Australia-based artists identifying as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander who are age 17+  are invited to apply. Artists are encouraged to match PICA’s spirit of risk and experimentation, addressing spaces that PICA’s visitors move through when visiting the building, including its entrance lobby, foyer, stairwells and balcony mezzanine.

Copyright Agency Partnerships (CAP) is an annual series that supports major commissions for mid-career and established visual artists in partnership with leading cultural organisations around Australia. In 2024, the Copyright Agency will partner with the PICA to create and present a significant opportunity for visual artists.

One visual artist or collective will be selected from a competitive application process to develop and present a major new commission in PICA’s Central Galleries on the ground floor of the building or in the West End Gallery on the first floor. 

Valued at $80,000, the grant is inclusive of a $40,000 artist fee and $40,000 project funds towards the development and presentation of a new commission.
