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 today, 10am–5pm. Our exhibitions are always free.

Exhibitions

PICA’s exhibition program takes place over four seasons each year, with each season thematically focused to draw connections between disparate artists and practices and to encourage deeper audience engagement.

PICA works with artists at all stages of their careers, from recent graduates in our annual flagship Hatched: National Graduate Show to mid-career solo exhibitions, guest curated group exhibitions and major commissions. These exhibitions, along with moving image works shown in our dedicated Screen Space,  showcase the work of artists from Western Australia and across the globe, offering a range of narratives and perspectives.

As a site for the production of new art and ideas, PICA supports artists and curators to develop, produce and present work driven by the critical issues of our time. At PICA both artists and audiences are encouraged to take risks, explore new and emerging art forms, and experiment with ideas.
