Current Projects

In this section you will find details of the major volunteer projects currently planned or underway at FAWWA.

In recent years FAWWA has received funding from ArtsWA to enable a program of residencies for local writers, masterclasses for emerging writers, and other professional development activities for West Australian writers.

We have also received support from LotteryWest and other sponsors to enable the restoration and conservation of our heritage-listed buildings, specialist library and museum collection.

Anniversaries

In 2007 we also begin preparations for several major anniversaries in 2008:

  • One hundred years since the building of Tom Collins House
  • The seventieth anniversary of the founding of the Fellowship of Australian Writers WA branch itself.
  • Sixty years since Tom Collins House was gifted to FAWWA to become the main headquarters of the Fellowship.
