Welcome to Community Arts Network WA
Community Arts Network Western Australia (CAN WA) is the peak body for community arts and cultural development in Western Australia. We inspire and mobilise communities to explore and express their own unique culture through art production, cultural programs, skills development and funding opportunities.
Established in 1985, CAN WA has a long and rich history in the arts and culture sector in Western Australia.
We are driven by the knowledge that culture and the arts play an important part in shaping our communities. We understand the need to involve the community in processes that help them track the past, understand and explore the present, and use their imagination to help manifest the future.
