DADAA is a key disability/ mental health and community arts organisation for Western Australia and regularly offers programs in regional areas. Our programs in the regions work with communities as co-producers, with arts projects underpinned by strong partnerships with local governments, local arts organisations and local community groups. Our programming aims to strengthen the resilience and wellbeing of regional Western Australia through artistic engagement and vibrancy.
