Hanrine Foundation
Arts & Culture

Purpose

Cultivate creativity and future opportunities by investing in artistic initiatives that engage and reflect the rich tapestry of our communities’ cultures, traditions and aspirations.

Overview

In Arts & Culture, the Hanrine Foundation supports projects that celebrate creativity and connection, recognising the role of the arts in strengthening people, places and futures.

We work with local and state-wide organisations to help foster creative expression, cultural celebration and opportunities for participation and career development in the arts.

Initiatives are grounded in consultation with the people and places we serve and focus on real impact for the next generation of creative leaders.

Current Arts & Culture initiatives include:

  • Scribblers on the Road: A regional creative writing and storytelling initiative delivered in schools across the Pilbara.
  • Desert Wave Records: An Aboriginal-led music organisation based in Port Hedland, delivering year-round recording, mentoring and performance programs that create cultural, education and employment pathways for artists and young people across the Pilbara.
