About Perth Festival Special Projects
Perth Festival Special Projects is an exciting venture from Perth Festival that was created to further our charitable purpose - to enrich life through art in Western Australia. This new division of the Festival is designed to drive our ambition to become a year-round cultural organisation that delivers always for our community, audiences and supporters.
About the Event
Perth Festival Special Projects, in collaboration with Tourism WA, is creating a new homegrown signature event for the people of Western Australia. This event is being created and produced with the aim of celebrating and amplifying our city’s uniqueness, building an event that drives understanding and larger visitation over time.
The event will be an inclusive, immersive multi-day Festival that celebrates:
The unique biodiversity of our region
The natural wonders of spring (Kambarang)
Underpinned by the knowledge of the indigenous cultural custodians of this place, led by those here on Noongar Boodjar
The event will focus attention on Perth as a city close to nature and the phenomenon of WA’s unique and abundant wildflowers and aims to deliver a large-scale and spectacular event, creating a valuable experience for the people of WA and ultimately an internationally renowned and recognised event. The event is created under a shared leadership model where senior indigenous artists and leaders lead non-indigenous collaborators through protocols and knowledge.
