Creative Brief
We’re inviting young artists to create bold, colourful, playful artwork that will be projected onto the wall of the Main Stage at East Perth Power Station.

Take inspiration from the Power Station and ideas around electricity, energy, and power, but interpret it in your own way. Explore light, connection, transformation, or rhythm. Artwork that uses patterns, simple shapes, and bold colours works best at large scale and really pops on a wall.

You are welcome to submit work that is already animated! If you submit still images, your artwork will be animated by PAV, giving your work new energy and letting it be experienced in a large-scale, immersive setting. This is your chance to experiment, play, and see your style come alive.

We’re looking for work that’s bright, bold, graphic, and full of energy. We can't wait to see what you create!
