The Town of Claremont is committed to developing and fostering art and culture within the local community. Providing the opportunity to express and celebrate our creativity, identity and history is an integral part of the Town’s cultural identity.
The Town of Claremont recognises the significance that arts and cultural development plays towards community enrichment. Making visual art broadly accessible to the community helps to develop civic pride, creates opportunity for community engagement and contributes to a sense of place.
As part of our commitment, the Town offers a range of activities, initiatives and activations. You can read more about these below.
The Town runs a biennial Art Awards & Exhibition to support and celebrate West Australian emerging and established artists across a variety of art forms, including oil, watercolour, ink, sculpture, and mixed media.
The Town's next Art Awards & Exhibition is scheduled for 2025.
We encourage artists and creatives to explore funding and support programs offered by the Town. You can find out more about these opportunities on the following page.

The Town enjoys a partnership with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO) which allows the magic of symphony music to be enjoyed by residents and the community alike.
WASO feature at our Carols in the Park event and also A Night on Bay View each year.
Through our Community Funding program we also have a partnership with the Claremont Concert Band.
The Town works with local artists and businesses to create engaging activations each year.
In 2024 the Luminous Street Festival took place which saw Bay View Terrace within the Claremont Town Centre transform into an illuminated wonderland.
This event was very well attended and drew visitors from outside the local area into the Claremont Town Centre.
