We facilitate quality creative acts in your community:
- We manage public art for businesses and residents who wish to connect to their community through public and private facing art. This includes working with leaders to understand their needs and find a good artist/art fit for their context. We uniquely honour the artist and the commercial aims of business and manage the process with heart combined with great logistic/financial skills.
- We support artists working with facilities owned and managed by local councils, state government and businesses.
- This includes artist in residence programs over various time frames – our emphasis is to support ongoing creative acts and connections.
- We connect Bassendean Arts’ members with their community through targeted events. However, these are rarer and support our goal of creating spaces for ongoing relationships and creative development.
- Members are able to push their skills and abilities through the provision of insurance. This frees them to do what they do best.
- We connect those who love art/creativity with those who are practising art/creativity. This includes in-person support, philanthropic funding and sales. We are a registered charity with most methods of support being tax deductible.
- We advocate for creative expressions in the community based on our principles and the guiding principle of fostering effective partnerships.
- We practice art indivdually and collectively (and have governing structures in place to remove conflicts of interest). We are generous and experienced. All our actions are guided by our principles.
