Housed in an internationally renowned Brutalist building designed by Architect Charles Sierakowski, AGWA has an impressive collection of artworks by First Nations and Western Australian artists, alongside works from around Australia and the world.

Alongside the new is one of WA’s oldest buildings, the former police courts built in 1905. These heritage-listed ‘Centenary Galleries’ are now home to a changing rotation of exhibitions.

AGWA hosts a diverse line-up of exhibitions across the year, accompanied by an exciting program of events, including artist talks, music, performance art, and more.
