🫶 we're back to boorloo and hard at work on our next adventures but just wanted to thank the kepa kurl wudjari people of the nyungar nation and ngadju people, who are the traditional owners, for having us in esperance at the weekend to present our seriously big fun quiz/show eaters at Esperance Civic Centre.

🙌 special mention to Lucky Bay Brewing who played hard, won a few prizes & had a top time. theirs is the only wa brewery using raw barley direct from local farmers, reducing their carbon footprint 🍻
meanwhile...
team ‘pie, croissants & empanadas’ took home the native saltbush (tjilyi-tjilyi) - an excellent protein source which contains beneficial calcium and trace minerals. this deep-rooted perennial is incredibly water efficient, fire resistant, and can revegetate salivated soil. 🌿

happy growing (and eating) pals. see you next time 😄

📢 we're thrilled the incredibly awesome mr jeremy smith has been appointed pvi's new chairperson... 👏

living and playing in boorloo (perth), jeremy works as Performing Lines' w.a. senior producer, having previously been Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts' gm and Australia Council for the Arts' director of experimental arts and community arts. working closely with artists, organisations and communities to promote artistic bravery, self-determination, authentic representation and brokering opportunities, jeremy's spent considerable time on initiatives and projects born out of regional and remote australia, and developing and delivering key arts and disability programs.

from jeremy: "just as i like to disrupt notions and norms of access, equity and inclusion across the arts industry, pvi delivers disruption in spades. they are brave, ambitious and subversive, tackling head-on crunchy terrain that others fear to explore, in climate justice and ethical partnerships. they're among the most generous of allies and accomplices to many in our industry; and they have an eye on the future of experimental arts – offering opportunity and pathways to emerging and mid-career artists to ensure a bright horizon of play, interdisciplinary dreaming and hopepunk”.

we're excited to have someone of jeremy’s calibre as chairperson - a passionate advocate for the sector with deep knowledge of experimental practice and social inclusion who champions the value of artists in society. we're proud this golden human being - who is actively shaking up and transforming attitudes around difference and inclusion across the arts - will be steering the pvi ship.

"to take this role with a company whose work and people i adore and values i strongly align with is an opportunity i'm excited to tackle. we've a board whose passion, expertise & awareness bring a great deal. and we look forward to soon welcoming some new members to our dreaming & scheming of future play & disruption.”

thanks to celina lei for this insightful overview of the importance and precarity of artist run initiatives for ArtsHub . also features our own kelli mccluskey sharing her insights on cia studios (rip!).

‘our experience has been that artists will always gravitate to other artists, learn from each other, skill share and expand their practice due to being around other practitioners – emerging and established. this in turn leads to cross-fertilisation of art forms and the best kinds of experimentation taking place – it’s often not outcome focused, but process oriented. '

While some artist-run-initiatives have survived the COVID-wreckage, many say a rethink is needed to secure their future.

‘heartbeat.’ explores the power of art in a world that favours the monotonous, returning both the audience and the performers to the magic of childhood and the thing that connects us all: the all-consuming, undeniable desire to create.
you’ve felt it too, right?"

after nearly a decade without, we at last have a national cultural policy.

as january 2023 concluded, the australian government released “revive: a place for every story, a story for every place”, a 5 year plan to revive our arts and culture sector formulated after nation-wide consultation with artists, arts workers, and the community.

the transformation of the Australia Council for the Arts into creative australia and the release of the national cultural policy is a huge step in reinvigorating and returning funding to the arts. we’re keen to see what direction the future will take.

a founding member of pvi collective since its establishment in 1998, chris williams amicably parted ways with us earlier in 2022 to take on a larger role at DADAA and pursue his individual artistic practice.

“i have loved working with pvi, and i am hoping we will work together again. it is a family of sorts, we grew up together and i learnt a lot over those years.”

before he commences his 3 month residency at PICA - Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, we managed to get chris to reflect on his time with pvi, his personal artistic philosophy, and tell us what’s next for him.
