Making the GIANT trip to PICA this weekend!
Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week Perth welcomes The Giants as they roam the streets of the city!
Over the course of the weekend there will be a series of road closures across the city which could affect your journey to PICA for Summer Nights performances. Head to the PIAF website for details.
We recommed taking public transport instead of driving to ensure stess-free travel. If you must drive, consider parking at a train station just outside the city and take the train for the last leg. See the Transperth website.

Help the PICAnauts get to Rotto!
|
 |
|
The PICAnauts are swimming towards race day on 21 February with ocean training this weekend in addition to their daily pool sessions.
Testing out their brand new swimsuits designed by artist Tarryn Gill and designer Ingrid Zurzolo this weekend the whole team of Amy Barrett-Lennard, Leigh Robb, Nadia Johnson and Renae Coles churned the water up and down Cottesloe Beach.
Propelling the 'nauts to Rotto is the desire to lift the profile of the Arts in WA and raise money to strengthen the support PICA provides its Artists in Residence!
So lend PICA and its artists a hand! As little as $5 will help the PICAnauts on their way, $200 and we'll make you an honourary PICAnaut!
DONATE TO THE PICAnauts HERE
