The annual exhibition of artwork from Local Governments will be
displayed at the iconic digital tower at the heart of Yagan Square

Traditionally (until 2018) the artwork, in the form of physical
banners, were hung on the poles along St Georges and Adelaide
Terrace. Since 2019, WALGA has the opportunity to display
digital artwork designs on the 45-metre high tower at Yagan
Square, which features a circular screen with 14 columns, which
represents the 14 Noongar language groups

• Secondary school(s) (Year 7 - 12)
