artist Dani Marti (NSW/ESP), in partnership with

PIAF. This seductive and confronting show sees Marti

relect upon intimate encounters with family, lovers

and strangers to create works that are startling in

their vulnerability and revealing in their sensuality.

In addition to presenting new works, FAC hosts

the City of Fremantle Art Collection Gallery. The

Collection is the largest municipal art collection in

WA, housing more than 1,300 pieces, including

historical works and an extraordinary mix of

contemporary paintings, prints, photographs and

ceramics by Western Australian artists. The winning

work of the FAC Print Award is acquired by the

City of Fremantle annually, and its acquisition over

a period of more than 40 years has enabled the

Collection to develop an expansive holding of

Australian prints and artists’ books that relect the

diversity, complexity and scale of print nationally.

FAC also hosts an extensive Learning program

with more than 1,000 students enrolling each

term. Tailored to kids and adults, courses range

from weekend workshops to mid-week night

classes, along with a kids holiday program, covering

printmaking, drawing, painting, ceramics, metal

work, jewellery, textiles, creative writing, loristry and

photography. All courses are taught by experienced

tutors and practicing artists.

In recent years, FAC has become a premier venue

for Australian and international musicians. A diverse

range of acts play year-round, with free concerts

from local and national acts in the summer’s Sunday

Music series to touring acts on the South Lawn

such as Nick Cave, Ms Lauryn Hill, Chet Faker, Paul

Kelly, Elvis Costello and RÜFÜS. FAC also curates

an intimate selection of concerts including Sonic
