Window Stories
Window Stories is an ongoing project by Penrith Performing & Visual Arts (PP&VA) where artists working in photography, are commissioned to bring the inside out and to share community stories with the passing public in a large format photographic showcase on the The Joan’s windows.
This curated series will refresh every three months and will be anchored by Gallery programs or site-based themes.

We need your help to keep Western Sydney’s creative heart beating. The support we receive from individual donations as well as businesses, foundations, and philanthropic sources is crucial to our mission of nurturing, making and sharing great art for all.
