The Edith Cowan University Art Collection is a dynamic, constantly evolving reflection of the best in Australian and Western Australian art. It is built on a strong philosophical commitment to integrating art into the everyday experience of students, staff and the wider community and fostering and promoting local art practice.

The University achieves these aims by:

  • Exhibiting works in public spaces across its four campuses, making it one of Australia's most accessible collections.
  • Acquiring works by donation, gift and purchase.
  • Using the collection as a teaching resource.
  • Researching and organising touring exhibitions.
  • Commissioning site specific artworks.

This project has been funded by the Lotteries Commission of Western Australia.
