FORM, with the support of BHP Billiton Iron Ore, is facilitating a series of visual arts development workshops in the fields of painting and drawing, with nationally renowned artists. 

The visual arts development program is part of FORM’s creative professional development programming package, aimed at fostering enhanced technical and artistic skills for Pilbara community members, and through this, increasing opportunities for alternative creative industries to emerge.

We encourage all aspiring and established artists, designers and painters to apply to participate in these workshops. The weekend workshops will run in April, May, June and July; more information on the full workshop program is in the attached application form.

In cooperation with Vitra Design Museum and the Centre Georges Pompidou, CIRECA has been putting on an international summer academy at Domaine de Boisbuchet since 1996. The international summer workshops are offered from July through mid-September.  The courses are led by renowned designers, architects and artists who live and work together with the participants for a length of six to ten days. 

The goal of the workshops is not to design a “perfect” product but rather to provide insights into the design process and the associated challenges of rational thinking, creativity and manual skills. 

Take one hour each month to reflect, discuss and help create change in PERTH. Join a community of ‘urban thinkers’ for a free forum exploring topics such as planning, development, sustainability and community. This is PERThour.

PERTHour is a discussion forum designed to broaden our perspectives on urban issues. Presenters talk for twenty minutes with oodles of time for questions. The program is specifically designed to be interactive, intimate and enjoyable with short presentations followed by questions & discussion time. Note that places are limited.

The first session begins THIS FRIDAY with special guest Charles Landry.
