Creative City
Freo is WA’s creative heart, a recognised hub for artists and creatives. How can we stay that way?
Anchored by the Fremantle Arts Centre, Western Australia’s creative heart extends to all corners of the City of Fremantle. It exists on the ever-changing murals that grace the brick walls of our buildings. Music and performances reverberate from one grassy backyard to another. Architects, film makers, and artists craft the visual tapestry that makes Fremantle’s city-scape so unique. We are a city flush with festivals throughout the seasons that last for a day, weekend, or an entire month. Our port town is a stage for local and globally recognised creatives across all formats.
How can we continue to punch above our weight when it comes to creative services in Fremantle?
How can our creative strength unlock even greater potential for Fremantle’s economy?
What do we need to offer artists and makers to thrive—be it physical spaces or mentoring support?
What is our vision for a broader industry of creative services that will attract individuals and companies to set up shop here in Fremantle?
This is a “Courageous Conversation” about the crucial role arts & culture plays in the success and future of Fremantle. We’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas on how we can further this hot-button topic together.
