We are seeking names of women who have made a significant contribution to the development of arts and culture in Western Australia. Women who qualify can come from any period of the state's history, and be seen as having contributed in some meaningful way to the arts, for example: music, literature, performing arts, fine and applied arts and craft, architecture and design. We are also interested in women who played an important role in the promotion of the arts through their patronage, teaching, and establishing places that encouraged the development of these art forms.
