Expeditions – A unique creative opportunity to support mid-career and established artists in Western Australia.
Expeditions is a creative response in light of the needs of mid-career and established artists following the KOLYANG Hub report which was shared with the wider sector thanks to the Chamber of Culture and the Arts/ Performing Lines WA.
