Inspiring WA Grant

In September we announced that the FRINGE WORLD & Inspiring WA Science-Arts Grant was back for the 2026 season! The grant provides funding to support Western Australian artists promoting their STEM (science, technology, engineering, or maths) based show. We had received amazing applications and the two shows selected were:
The Birds & The Bees - A smart, funny and wildly engaging science-comedy. This show uses humour, theatre, circus and big visual moments to explore the world of native pollinators. Audiences are taken on a memorable journey through pollination, coevolution, bee behaviours and the surprising science behind the tiny creatures that power so much of our environment.
🌈 Hugo's Rainbow Show - A magical, musical journey exploring the science of the skies through rainbows, weather and whimsical storytelling. Perfect for children aged 2 to 10 years and neurodivergent audiences, it offers an inclusive, playful environment that encourages curiosity and creativity.
A huge congratulations to the recipients, we can’t wait to see these amazing shows!✨

Thank you so much also to everyone who applied, we appreciate the creativity and effort that went into each application.

And a huge thank you to Inspiring WA and Scitech for making this grant possible and championing the intersection of arts and science.
