Expressions of Interest – Brave New Works Festival #33

9-11 April 2027

Brave New Works (BNW) is Western Australia's experimental community arts festival, providing a supportive platform for artists to develop, explore and share new work with regional audiences. Since 1994, BNW has welcomed works in progress through to polished pieces across all artistic disciplines.

Designed to support artistic development and strengthen the regional creative sector, BNW offers a fringe-style environment that encourages experimentation, collaboration and connection. Through an inclusive program that engages the local schools, communities and young people, the festival creates meaningful opportunities for artists and audiences alike.

We invite artists, performers and creatives working in any medium to submit an Expression of Interest to be part of Brave New Works.

If your work is brave, new and ready to be shared, we'd love to hear from you.

Our expressions of interest are open until 20 September 2026.

Three decades of arts festivals... and counting.

Brave New Works (BNW) is a longstanding regional arts festival, providing participation in and access to WA made arts and culture. Established in 1994, BNW is WA's only experimental community art festival, embracing all forms of creative expression from theatre, song, film, visual arts, comedy, poetry, written works and dance. BNW invites submissions of "works in progress to polished pieces, big or small, across all artistic mediums, as long as they are brave and new".

BNW is designed to support artists in their development phase of a new work and growth in the sector, annually featuring over 80 activities in ten venues during a multi-day program in March/April. The fringe style platform supports 900+ artists in their exploration and performance practice in a supported environment, strengthening community connections, mentorship and growth of regional audiences. The inclusive line up of activities encourage participation and engagement from local schools, nursing homes, disability groups and youth.
