Artsource advocates best practice principles in the commissioning of artwork, working with artists and the role of art in our society.

With over 200 clients, many subscribing annually, artsource consulted on over 200 projects in 2007, resulting in a contribution in excess of $5m to visual artists.

artsource wins two awards


On Friday 12th October, artsource won twice in the West Australian Business and the Arts Partnership Awards.

Our nomination for a partnership with the National Trust for the development of the Settlers Cottage Studios, and the wonderful work achieved by Block Branding for Artopia both won in their categories.

We are delighted that the work done on both these projects has been recognised at a State level and thank all our partners for their support over the past year. We are also continuously grateful to our database developer, Enrich for their ongoing work.
