WHY
ABOUT
A new artist-run-initiative in the Perth CBD, Cool Change Contemporary is a multi-gallery venue located within the historic Bon Marche Arcade building on Barrack Street. Cool Change Contemporary hosts a monthly program of exhibitions supported by regular performances, screenings, workshops and events, and is home to an artist studio.
Cool Change is the arrival of a cold front in the afternoon or evening after a day of high summertime temperatures. It is the sense of interconnectedness with your surroundings, and a feeling that things are about to pick up. Cool Change Contemporary stands for critically engaged work, an accessible, welcoming environment and an agile, responsive outlook.
A volunteer led organisation, Cool Change Contemporary was founded by Jess Boyce, Emma Buswell, Grace Connors, Miranda Johnson, Melissa McGrath, Shoshana Rosenberg, and Matthew Siddall, opening in August 2018.
Cool Change Contemporary acknowledges the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation, the traditional and rightful custodians of the land on which we operate. We recognise their strength and resilience and pay respect to their Elders past, present and future.
