COLLECTIVE is Western Australia’s largest open-themed photographic art event and PCP fundraiser, held in celebration of our diverse and talented photographic community. Navigating the intricate landscape of today’s global environment, COLLECTIVE provides a haven for the convergence of creativity, innovative thinking, multiple perspectives and critical discourse. Guaranteed to be an indelible experience, COLLECTIVE is a must-attend for lovers of photography and those in pursuit of fresh new artworks.

In 2023 COLLECTIVE will showcase the work of over 100 photographic artists from WA and beyond, with the Opening Party featuring special guest DJs, musicians, a silent auction, canapés, cocktails, limited edition prints, and multiple prizes from participating partnering businesses for artists with the most compelling photographic artworks.

Whether you are in the process of building your art collection, looking to style up a space, or searching for a meaningful gift, Collective is a rare opportunity to acquire original artwork. Pricing starts from AUD $125 to $250 + gst per print, with sizes varying from 11 x 14″ to 16 x 20″.

Sending a big thank you to all our generous guest artists and members for making this year’s Collective possible!

As a non-profit arts organisation and charity, we rely on the generosity of our members, sponsors, and donors. This year, all purchases from Collective or donations will go directly towards our exhibition program and our education and mentoring initiatives, such as our First Nations Mentoring Program, ‘Exposure: New Voices in Western Australian Photography’.
