Event description

Arts Margaret River celebrates its Golden Anniversary in 2024.

Researching Arts Margaret River's history, recalling the characters and putting their stories back on stage for this book has been fun, full of surprises, sometimes sad but immensely satisfying.

Stories that help shine a spotlight on this small rural arts organisation that, for 50 years, has been a well-oved part of the Margaret River community.

All the stories in this collection have a connection with Arts Margaret River, even if the thread of connection is as fine as a single silk thread in a tapestry.

More importantly these stories show the threads of connections that over the years have woven everyone into a community that values its people, its natural beauty, its history and the talents of the artists, across all genres, that visit or live here.

Heather Locke's much-anticipated Perth edition of the book launch will be followed by book sales and afternoon tea (with lots of biscuits).

Writing WA is working between the lines and behind the scenes to build a state of opportunity in Western Australia for writers, publishers and other practitioners in the writing sector – not just for the benefit of practitioners themselves, but for the immense social value that great writing brings to individuals and communities.

Long-form or short, in a book or on-screen; we celebrate writing no matter how it’s expressed. Though the mediums in which we consume writing may be evolving what remains constant is the power of writing to unite, challenge, inspire, entertain and educate. So we seek to champion its value in creating and developing culture through our programs and initiatives. Because of this commitment, truly remarkable creative voices have emerged and will continue to do so.

We believe that writing should be an industry of opportunity and the promotion of sustainable professional practice for writers is embedded in all that we do.
