About Us

Creative Edge Art Collective is a not-for-profit art’s hub in Perth’s northern suburb of Joondalup. The collective develops artists through education, exhibition and engagement to inspire and develop artists while supporting disadvantaged communities through the arts.

Creative Edge showcases established and emerging Western Australian artists in our gallery space. We host exhibitions, workshops and mentoring programs that engage artists and support our community.

Indigenous Cultural and Ethical Commitment

Creative Edge Art Collective acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we operate and pays respect to Elders past, present, and emerging.

As a not-for-profit arts collective, we are committed to supporting artists and strengthening cultural life within our community. Our approach is guided by the principles of the Indigneous Art Code and grounded in fairness, respect, and transparency.

We work with artists in a way that is clear and supportive. All agreements are explained in plain language so artists can make informed decisions, take their time, and seek independent advice if they choose. We do not apply pressure, and we prioritise relationships built on trust and mutual understanding.

Artists retain copyright in their work. We respect Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property and cultural protocols, and we do not reproduce or share cultural material without permission.

We are committed to fair and timely payment, open communication, and accurate record keeping. We ensure artists are properly acknowledged and that their work is handled with care and respect.

Creative Edge exists to nurture, inspire, and engage artists. We aim to create a space where cultural knowledge is honoured, artists are supported, and ethical practice is part of everyday work.
