Visual Arts and Design in Western Australia
Visual art includes many forms such as drawing, painting, sculpture and photography, and artists work across various mediums from textiles, metal and woodwork, to found objects, 3D printing and digital media. Design encapsulates a broad set of industries and designers might work in graphic design, 2D or 3D forms, product, fashion and wearables or industrial design, amongst several others. Everything in the built world has been designed by someone and in the visually driven digital spaces we increasingly inhabit, the skills and talents of our Visual Artists and Designers come to the fore.
Western Australia is earning a global reputation as an epicentre for world-class public art. Our remote and regional Aboriginal Australian artists are bringing vibrancy and economic sustainability to their regions and communities and attracting the attention of serious art buyers globally. And Western Australian visual artists are rising to the challenges of the new, online world of arts marketing and sales to take their place in the global gallery. FutureNow works closely with our partners in the visual art, craft, and design sectors to examine trends and identify opportunities to promote and support this vital workforce.
