What’s your idea?
Every year we invite artists, creatives, facilitators and cultural practitioners to tell us what they'd like to create with us.
Expressions of Interest help us build a balanced and exciting annual program that supports artists, celebrates diverse creative practices, and creates meaningful experiences for our Kepa Kurl Esperance community.
We're interested in ideas from artists at every stage of their career, from emerging through to established practitioners, so if you're wanting to have an exhibition, workshop, artist residency, community project or something completely new, we'd love to hear about it!
