Title: Perth Art, Design and Architecture: An Interdisciplinary Approach
Venue: Kamilė Gallery, State Buildings Perth City
Time: Midday - 2.00pm
Registration and tickets on eventbrite
Our panel speakers will provide examples and research from both Perth and overseas architecture, art and design projects, with a specific focus on how these approaches can be streamlined within the WA landscape. This event builds on our very successful Design Series Rooftop event held in October 2023 and addresses one of the key questions that arose during question time, namely the need for a more integrated approach between artists, designers and architects within the current Perth landscape.
Hosted by Kamilė Gallery within the historical State Buildings, we look forward to seeing you there.
