On behalf <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Western</strong> Australian<br />
Government, we welcome you to the<br />
Pilbara region for the Red Earth Arts<br />
Festival, one <strong>of</strong> the largest festivals<br />
<strong>of</strong> its kind in <strong>Western</strong> Australia’s<br />
North-West.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Red Earth Arts Festival,<br />
now in its third year, involves the<br />
communities <strong>of</strong> Karratha, Dampier,<br />
<strong>Roebourne</strong>, Wickham and<br />
Point Samson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> festival features dance, theatre,<br />
music and performances by local arts<br />
and cultural groups, highlighting the<br />
breadth <strong>of</strong> talent in the region. It also<br />
supports the development and growth<br />
<strong>of</strong> the arts industry in the region with<br />
a number <strong>of</strong> workshops.<br />
<strong>The</strong> State Government is proud to<br />
support the Red Earth Arts Festival<br />
through Eventscorp's Regional<br />
Events Scheme, which is jointly<br />
funded by Royalties for Regions.<br />
Regional events play an important<br />
role in attracting visitors, adding<br />
vibrancy to the area and promoting<br />
it through valuable media exposure.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Pilbara is the hub <strong>of</strong> WA’s<br />
mining and resources industry, and<br />
is home to a growing population.<br />
It is therefore important to support<br />
regional events to engage and excite<br />
locals, and contribute to building<br />
strong communities.<br />
For those visiting the Pilbara for<br />
the festival, we encourage you<br />
to explore all the extraordinary<br />
attractions the region <strong>of</strong>fers.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se include Karijini National<br />
Park, where you can find deep<br />
gorges, secluded rock pools and<br />
ice blue waterfalls; the Burrup<br />
Peninsula, with tens <strong>of</strong> thousands<br />
<strong>of</strong> ancient Aboriginal rock carvings;<br />
or the Buccaneer Archipelago and<br />
Rowley Shoals Islands, where you<br />
can spend the day fishing<br />
and diving.<br />
<strong>The</strong> arts will play an intrinsic role in<br />
transforming our community from<br />
a resources town into a vibrant,<br />
world-class city <strong>of</strong> the North. Public<br />
art and creative open spaces,<br />
as well as outdoor performance<br />
venues and amphitheatres feature<br />
heavily in our blueprint for future<br />
development because we value<br />
the contribution art makes to our<br />
collective sense <strong>of</strong> belonging, wellbeing<br />
and urban identity.<br />
Incredible public art installations<br />
already adorn the newly-opened<br />
Frank Butler Community Centre,<br />
Pam Buchanan Family Centre and<br />
<strong>The</strong> Youth Shed. Once delivered,<br />
public art installations will also be<br />
on show at the Karratha Leisure<br />
Complex and along Dampier<br />
Highway following streetscape<br />
upgrades.<br />
In addition to public art<br />
installations, new outdoor<br />
performance venues are now<br />
playing host to cultural events such<br />
as the <strong>Shire</strong>’s own Twilight Tunes,<br />
which was recently held, for the<br />
first time, at the Nickol West park<br />
amphitheatre.<br />
<strong>The</strong> annual Red Earth Arts Festival<br />
is one <strong>of</strong> the biggest events on the<br />
<strong>Shire</strong>’s cultural calendar and would<br />
not be possible without continued<br />
support from its Principal Partners<br />
the Woodside operated – North West<br />
Shelf Project and Rio Tinto.<br />
In 2012, REAF will bring a world-class<br />
sand sculptor, Indonesian shadow<br />
puppetry, the soulful sounds <strong>of</strong><br />
James Flynn, world music sensation<br />
Azadoota, the internationally-popular<br />
Spiegeltent, sand animator Pooja<br />
Harischandra, film from the Perth<br />
International Arts Festival, a 48-hour<br />
play project and a whole new range<br />
<strong>of</strong> activities for Art in the Park. REAF<br />
will deliver more than 50 events,<br />
across our five towns, providing<br />
entertainment and opportunities for<br />
all to participate in a range <strong>of</strong> arts<br />
activities.<br />
In 2012, the <strong>Shire</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Roebourne</strong> will<br />
look to firmly establish this event as<br />
the largest arts and culture festival<br />
in the North West. Over the next three<br />
years, the <strong>Shire</strong> also aims to grow<br />
REAF to be the largest regional arts<br />
and cultural festival in Australia.<br />

Each year, the <strong>Shire</strong> also stages<br />
a number <strong>of</strong> cultural events to<br />
demonstrate to the community<br />
the true scale <strong>of</strong> what is possible in<br />
our increasingly sophisticated and<br />
culturally-diverse region.<br />

Principal Partner<br />
<strong>The</strong> Woodside-operated North West<br />
Shelf Project is proud to have been<br />
involved with the Red Earth Arts<br />
Festival (REAF) since its inception.<br />
In a short amount <strong>of</strong> time we’ve<br />
seen REAF grow into a spectacular<br />
community event that has<br />
something for everyone. This year<br />
we’re delighted to have Rio Tinto join<br />
us as co-principal sponsor.<br />
We continue to invest in the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> arts and culture<br />
across the <strong>Shire</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Roebourne</strong> in<br />
recognition <strong>of</strong> our communities’<br />
diverse needs. Working sustainably<br />
is one <strong>of</strong> our company values and<br />
helps guide our social investment<br />
decisions. We look to contribute to<br />
initiatives like REAF that involve a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> community organisations<br />
working together.<br />

REAF <strong>of</strong>fers an exciting program<br />
<strong>of</strong> events and presents a unique<br />
opportunity for our community to<br />
engage in a range <strong>of</strong> arts and cultural<br />
activities not usually experienced<br />
outside the Perth metropolitan area.<br />
I encourage all our staff, contractors<br />
and their families to support REAF<br />
with their patronage. I look forward<br />
to seeing you at the events.<br />
Throughout September the third<br />
annual Red Earth Arts Festival will<br />
bring a first-class arts and cultural<br />
programme to the region that would<br />
rival that <strong>of</strong> any other major city in<br />
the world.<br />
Rio Tinto is proud to join the<br />
Woodside-operated North West Shelf<br />
Project as a Principal Partner <strong>of</strong> the<br />
festival that boasts a stimulating<br />
line up <strong>of</strong> workshops, activities and<br />
performances that will form the<br />
2012 REAF.<br />
From MC workshops and comedy<br />
shows to dramatic performances<br />
and film nights, the 2012 REAF will<br />
set the region alight with creativity,<br />
culture and excitement as artists<br />
from around the world, and around<br />
the corner, descend on the region to<br />
entertain and engage you with three<br />
weeks <strong>of</strong> wondrous programmes.<br />
Art plays an integral role in the<br />
history <strong>of</strong> our nation, in shaping<br />
our community and expressing our<br />
unique identity. From story-telling to<br />
evoking emotion, art has the power<br />
to challenge the way we think, feel<br />
and learn. Expressions <strong>of</strong> creativity<br />
can define who we are as people and<br />
as a community. This year’s festival<br />
will proudly showcase the diversity<br />
<strong>of</strong> cultures, experiences and<br />
backgrounds represented by our<br />
vibrant community.<br />
Rio Tinto is committed to the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> arts and culture<br />
in the Pilbara and last year<br />
we invested more than $1.4<br />
million towards arts and cultural<br />
programmes in the region. This<br />
significant investment enabled<br />
the engagement <strong>of</strong> individuals and<br />
groups in creative workshops,<br />
events and festivals and increased<br />
opportunities for local artists<br />
through exhibitions.<br />
I encourage you to immerse yourself<br />
in the exciting repertoire <strong>of</strong> events<br />
hosted throughout the festival, take<br />
the opportunity to challenge your<br />
creative thinking and connect with<br />
new people.<br />
I look forward to seeing you at this<br />
year’s events.<br />

Welcome everyone to the 2012 Red Earth Arts Festival. I am simply<br />
thrilled to have been involved in the production <strong>of</strong> this 3-week long<br />
festival in one <strong>of</strong> the most fascinating regions <strong>of</strong> the world. Comprising<br />
over 200+ hours <strong>of</strong> art, theatre, music & entertainment, 2012 REAF<br />
promises a range <strong>of</strong> sensational performances to cater to all ages,<br />
preferences and cultural backgrounds.<br />
2012 REAF aims to facilitate local community engagement and<br />
contribute toward sustainable arts practices, further enriching the lives<br />
<strong>of</strong> the communities <strong>of</strong> the Pilbara. I would like to express my sincerest<br />
gratitude to everyone who made this festival possible: the hardworking<br />
team <strong>of</strong> organizers, our many talented artists, generous sponsors and<br />
dedicated volunteers.<br />
Watch out for the Red Earth Art Ball - a temporary interactive art<br />
installation which will feature throughout REAF. It will make surprise<br />
appearances where you least expect it and is a metaphor for the journey<br />
into the future. We look forward to celebrating diverse art and culture<br />
with you at the festival!<br />

Exhibition<br />
<strong>The</strong> mining boom has brought attention to the Pilbara’s<br />
resources industry, and the film ‘Red Dog’ has shaped a<br />
perception <strong>of</strong> the Pilbara as a hard working, hard living<br />
region. It certainly is both <strong>of</strong> these things, but this exhibition<br />
will show the world what else the Pilbara has to <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />
Naturally, the exhibition will feature gorgeous Pilbara<br />
landscapes, highlighting the spectacular natural beauty<br />
that keeps us outdoors in all weather – rain, sun, and sand<br />
flies. However, the exhibition will also showcase some more<br />
unexpected perspectives on Pilbara life. We want to show you<br />
the world, the scenery, the community, and the quirky little<br />
touches that make the Pilbara a place unlike any other.<br />

In 2012 the Dampier Art Awards will be<br />
celebrating its second year <strong>of</strong> showcasing the<br />
talent <strong>of</strong> the local Dampier residents. <strong>The</strong> Dampier<br />
Art Awards endeavours to capture the essence<br />
<strong>of</strong> what life is like, living and working in the<br />
Pilbara. <strong>The</strong> theme for 2012 is “From little things,<br />
big things grow” and enables the local artists to<br />
give us a snap shot <strong>of</strong> moments <strong>of</strong> time captured<br />
by a drop <strong>of</strong> paint or a smear <strong>of</strong> charcoal. In<br />
2012, the Pilbara region is experiencing a huge<br />
transformation with the local land developments<br />
and the resource sector expanding at a rapid rate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Dampier Art Awards will be a reflection <strong>of</strong> the<br />
changing times <strong>of</strong> life in Dampier and the Burrup<br />
