WA artists to benefit from exchange program with SE Asia
A new grant program will provide an opportunity for Western Australian artists to take part in an exchange program with artists in South East Asia.
The Create X grant program was developed to encourage WA artists and artists from Singapore, Malaysia or Indonesia to create and collaborate across a range of art forms.
This collaboration and exchange goes towards the building of greater Asia capability, cultural awareness and stronger relationships between WA and our immediate neighbours, which is highlighted as a key cultural outcome in the State Government's Asian Engagement Strategy.
The grant program offers applicants up to $20,000 of funding towards travel and residency costs for artists, creative industry professionals and arts organisations.
Applications to the program open on March 3, 2020 and close on April 16, 2020.
