This winter, Cockburn debuts the Makuru Arts Festival, a dynamic new arts festival set to ignite Memorial Hall with theatre, film, dance, visual arts, music, and workshops throughout June and July. The exciting and accessible program delivers high-quality arts experiences to audiences, such as interactive music events, and powerful First Nations storytelling through film. 

The lineup features acclaimed Perth theatre companies The Last Great Hunt, Big hART, and Max Burton, plus two curated music events by iconic WA artists. Memorial Hall will also transform into a creative hub, workspaces, and exhibitions.
