Perth Artists is an self-funded online arts documentary video series made up of five minute episodes that highlight the creative works of emerging Perth artists. Established by Peter Cheng in 2013, the series has had exponentially growing support - backed by local artists, galleries and curators. 

This campaign is to raise money for the series' first printed publication: a book that's made up of the transcribed and uncut interviews with each of the highlighted artists in season one. Alongside the written interviews will be images of their work and their studio environment.

The book will be an invaluable resource for art lovers, art students, high schools & universities. It will also serve as a published, tangible archive of Perth's contemporary art scene.


The book will feature transcribed interviews with each of the following artists (and more):






You can check out the episodes for free at www.perthartists.com

The funds from this campaign will go towards the design, printing and publishing costs of the book. The book will be a 220pg bound A5 book made up of interviews with each of the local artists. It will also feature photographs of their work and their studio space. Any funds made above our target and any money made from the sale of the book will go towards the next season of Perth Artists video production in 2015. After the Pozible rewards have been sent out - the book will become available for sale on the Perth Artists website for an RRP AU$70 (excl. postage). By pledging towards this project, you will have the opportunity to buy a 1st edition print of the book at below the standard cost.

Self publishing is a big task, it can be expensive for good quality paper and printing - however with your support this task is not impossible!

The Perth Artists crew has spent a huge amount of time working unpaid for the benefit of Perth's growing arts community. Following the news of cutbacks to arts funding, this project is our first reach out to the public for financial support. By supporting this project, we are aiming to create a self sustaining series - where the book sales allow us to fund our next season of videos. Thus the book will allow us to film another series of video content, and that will then flow on to the next book, and so forth.
By funding this project, you are helping us keep this series alive - for the benefit of not only the project, but also for the arts & culture scene in Perth, Western Australia.

Please give generously, as each pledge adds up.
