Artsource is centred on the visual artists of Western Australia. These artists represent many different perspectives, but we all share a deep commitment to art and a strong belief in the contribution artists make to the world. Our purpose is to engage with and support Western Australian visual artists with practical, affordable and relevant services.
MEMBERSHIP
At heart, Artsource is a membership organisation. Members pay an annual fee depending on the level of service they require. Fees are low and we aim to provide exceptional value for money. We give free one-year ACCESS membership to WA visual arts graduates.
STUDIOS
Providing affordable space in which artists can work is of fundamental importance. We charge affordable rents ($50 to $90 per week) and, ideally, we aim to provide tenure for five years. We have over 80 studios located across the metropolitan area in six buildings, with the Old Customs House in Fremantle being our flagship, office and spiritual home. More >
GLOBAL CITY RESIDENCIES
Each year we support members with the opportunity for residencies. We also host artists in our Fremantle studio apartment, making the space available for visiting regional, national and international artists. We keep members informed about other residency opportunities through our partnerships with organisations around the world.
CONSULTING
Artsource Consulting secures quality work opportunities for artists. It is one of the core services we offer to provide practical career-building support for PLUS and MAX members. We help artists deal with the business aspects of commissions and public art processes and assist the corporate sector to find artists and/or artwork.
When working with business, we develop projects with both artistic integrity and proper remuneration for artists. A vital part of this work is to promote and be an advocate for quality processes and practices that are fair to artists.
