Head On Festival Withdraws Due to Funding Shortfall | Perth News
Description
The Head On Photo Festival, a major global photography event that just landed in Perth, may be calling it quits — not for lack of talent or scale, but because the City of Perth offered only a fraction of the $156K they requested, forcing organizers to walk away. Despite pulling off an impressive showcase with exhibitions, talks, and public installations, the festival’s ambitious 2027 plans were derailed by lukewarm city feedback citing poor attendee tracking and weak storytelling. While the city redirects funds to other arts groups like PICA and WA Opera, festival leaders argue their world-class event deserves international recognition — and more support.
