Sector development

What is a Community without Creativity?

It’s a question that cuts to the bone. At Regional Arts WA, we’ve asked it, lived it, and built our work around it. Because we believe that the creative sector plays a vital role in strengthening communities. To thrive, it must be supported with the right tools, resources, and know-how.

And that’s where we come in to foster important conversations, build networks (check our Regional Arts Network), and create platforms that amplify regional voices. Our goal is to expand organisational capacity, employment and creative career opportunities while nurturing regional leadership. We are committed to ensuring diverse participation, collaboration, and equity across the sector and throughout the state.

Our Sector Development Program supports artists, creative workers, and organisations by providing opportunities for learning, collaboration, and growth—responding to both the immediate and long-term needs of Western Australia’s regional arts community.
