AGWA’s fabulous ART BALL returns for PrideFEST 2024

The Art Gallery of Western Australia’s iconic ART BALL is set to return this November.

Previously the annual event was a celebration of our state’s historic art gallery. In 2024, the gala spectacular is especially for us as part of November’s PrideFEST festivities.

The line-up includes some incredibly exciting LGBTIQA+ talent. Brilliantly bizarre performance art duo The Huxleys will be heading back to the west coast, with UK cabaret superstar Le Gateau Chocolat also making a triumphant return to the southern hemisphere.

The AGWA Rooftop will also host a lineup of diverse international and local performers, celebrating the very best in entertainment and drag.

The AGWA Design Store will also make its debut as Queer HQ, transforming into an eclectic treasure trove of LGBTQIA+ design from at home and around the world.
