Story Lounge is a direct response to existing barriers for WA's diverse storytellers and writers, communities and audiences, which have been exacerbated by COVID-19. Story Lounge aims to contribute to the revitalisation of Perth's CBD and engage new audiences in the arts sector, while providing employment and professional development opportunities for WA's diverse artists and art professionals. It is a safe space for people to connect. We invite other organisations to get in touch if they are interested in collaborating with us or using the space; and we invite creatives to get in touch if they are interested in hot desking from the Lounge.
