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.

KISS club 2018

KISS club 2018
Pucker up! Perth’s hottest performance club returns.
The ever popular KISS club is back, co-curated by PICA and pvi collective.
Originally created by Sydney based artist Karen Therese and gifted to pvi collective, KISS club is a performance event for ideas in development, featuring emerging and established artists across live performance practice.
Selected artists will present 10 minutes of a work in progress to a live audience, providing a chance to trial new ideas and receive feedback in a supportive, critical environment. A Q&A with a special guest speaker will also feature, providing insight into a topic beyond the arts.

This fast and furious performance night gives audiences a fresh view of what is bubbling in the hearts and minds of Perth’s performance makers and the opportunity to help shape and support new work.
