about cia

 

centre for interdisciplinary arts [cia]
cia studios was established by pvi collective in 2008 as a resource dedicated to providing a creative home for practitioners whose work sits on the edges of definition. cia studios supports the professional development of interdisciplinary artists placing an emphasis on live art, applied research, critical dialogue and experimentation with form and content.

housed in a two storey building on the cusp of perth city, cia provides dedicated studio space, technical resources and peer support to artists engaged in interdisciplinary arts practice. cia's program is managed and co-ordinated by pvi collective and includes local, national and international residencies, creative labs, workshops, in-progress showings and regular artist talks.

cia studios aims to provide a space for artists to exchange ideas, share skills, risk, fail, debate and experiment with the support of their peers.
