Always was. Always will be.
ART ON THE MOVE would like to acknowledge the First Nation’s Peoples are the traditional custodians of this land and we pay our respects to the Elders both past, present and future for their unique contribution to the cultural life of communities across Australia.

An update about COVID-19 | 8 June, 2020
As a result of recent directive from Government of Western Australia, ART ON THE MOVE is delighted to announce:
– Our touring exhibitions are heading back on the road later this month and our new tours Preppers and Rules of Summer are open for booking;
– Gradual and incremental return to our office after a period of working from home.
Many thanks to our sponsor Healthway through the Act-Belong-Commit program and the continued investment from the Department of Local Government, Sports and Cultural Industries. This investment has enabled us to respond to the unfolding and changing situation in an appropriate and considered way. Our deepest thanks to our partner venues who continued to work with us during the COVID-19 pandemic; keeping us informed of their changing situation and supporting each other through this time of change.
The health, safety and wellbeing of our staff, venues and their visitors continues to be a top priority and this will inform all that we do going forward.

Learn what we do
ART ON THE MOVE is Western Australia’s only organisation dedicated to touring contemporary visual art exhibitions across the regions, interstate and beyond.
We do this by touring quality contemporary art with appropriate learning and development opportunities that speak to and develop the unique cultural narratives of communities whatever the cultural practice, age, ability, and engagement with culture.
What's On
The current touring program features six exhibitions that all explore themes of identity, connection to community, and cultural relationships through powerful historic and contemporary stories.
