Western Australia, the western third of Australia is isolated by sea and desert. Western Australia, the Western Plateau is the oldest landmass on earth. What effect has this isolation and antiquity had on Western Australian artists. Join one of our Gallery Guides to discover more of the unique story of Western Australian art.
There is nothing like a personal interaction to spark the imagination. Whether you’re a seasoned artistic traveller or apprentice explorer, our Voluntary Gallery Guides, offer that extra insight and revealing glimpse into the artwork, the era and the artist.
We are revitalising the Gallery spaces. Over the coming months some of our gallery spaces will be closed. The format and scope of content for some of AGWA’s guided tours will therefore be adapted to suit these changes. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding during this time. Please ask our team at the front desk for more information.
