Regional Arts WA is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and, among the festivities, it has launched the new Thrive! Regional Arts, Culture and Creativity Investment Framework 2025-2029 to carry its commitment into the future.
Discourse to develop this framework began around the same time as the WA State Government’s 10-Year Vision for the creative industries, which is due to be released this year. Both respond to the call for statewide strategic development, and it was “clear that the regional arts sector needed to have a voice in that,” says Regional Arts WA CEO, Dr Pilar Kasat.
