A unique collective of regional arts organisations and independent practitioners working collaboratively to enliven and empower the WA regional arts sector and its many diverse communities.
Who are we? Where are we? What do we do? And why?
The Creative Grid is a ‘grass-roots’ organic network grounded across regional Western Australia.
It is not an incorporated association, but a highly flexible entity that creates opportunities for the sector to flourish through the power of collaboration.
Southern Forest Arts is the origin spore for it’s mycelial network.
