Perth Centre for Photography (PCP)

Perth Centre for Photography is a non profit organisation supported by the WA Government through funding from ArtsWA, sponsorships, and the hard work of dedicated volunteers.

Originally located in William Street, The Photography Gallery of WA has promoted and supported photo-based art in Western Australia since 1992.

The Gallery was later relocated to Arts House, underneath the Blue Room Theatre for many years before moving to its present premises at 91 Brisbane Street, Perth.

PCP's focus is on promoting all forms of photo media in Western Australia, particularly new photography and emerging talent.

The program features over 15 exhibitions a year, with solo or group shows from emerging and established artists as well as touring shows from interstates and overseas.

For photographers interested in developing their skills, PCP offers workshops focusing on basic camera techniques and digital programs.

PCP organises discussions about photography and has created the IRIS Award, a national prize for contemporary portraiture and the CLIP Award, a national prize for contemporary landscape photography.

PCP has established strong links with Universities and TAFE Colleges offering students a chance to broaden their view of Australia-wide and international photography.
