We visited this art place which is housed in a heritage building. There weren't a lot of exhibits as the place is not that large. There are a couple of floors to explore and it's convenient that they have a lift to all floors.

Yeah look, I'm as familiar with modern art as I would with the personal lives of the Kardashians, who I couldn't give anything about. Still, there are pieces here that I really like, pieces here that make me question the state of the art today and stuff that's really, eugh. No, that is not the desired reaction. I have strong opinions about modern art but this isn't the right forum. It is still a nice building to visit and a good activity if you're out of things to do in the city centre. I would even prefer to go to this place than looking at whatever trash they put in AGWA these days.

Was greeted by two lovely, knowledgeable, passionate art fiends. Viewed the Paul Knight exhibition in which he captured the beauty of light and life. Thanks Pica. Thanks Paul Knight.

Free and easily accessible exhibition space. Staff are friendly and helpful, but it's a small space and very easy to navigate without assistance/guidance. It's great that they highlight the work of emerging artists and art school graduates.

The size is small. They had a number of interesting pieces here. It was just fun. I wanted more, but they did not have the space.

Came pretty late around 4pm so didn’t get much time as I wanted, but there wasn’t much to see once I was inside. The building is pretty small in comparison to AGWA, and much fewer exhibits on display as well. Worth a quick visit if you are nearby, but otherwise AGWA has more to see and do.

The Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts is a small theatre in The James Street Mall or in The Cultural Centre as others still call it... There are so many talented Perth Performers & Dancers, Live Bands & Live Theatrical Performances...!!!! The Building, I also heard was now going to be restored to it's former Beauty.... The Picabar is also going to stay, it's not closing down.... NOW, It looks sensational.. THE CULTURAL CENTRE where the ART GALLERY & THE NEWLY RENOVATED MUSEUM are... It's very close to the city & the PERTH TRAIN STATION... You can view better photos of this Iconic Building in my review of THE PICABAR which is in the same building... Also a great place for the locals...!! Check it out..
