Seesaw Magazine is Western Australia’s premier, most-trusted outlet for covering diverse cultural and creative industries across the State.
Our charitable purpose is to produce quality, independent, professional arts journalism for the benefit of WA artists and creatives, cultural organisations, audiences and the wider public.
The Seesaw team believes it is crucial that the work of our creative community is documented, championed and critiqued.
Seesaw pays specialist award-winning journalists and nurtures the professional development of new and emerging writers to do just that. Unlike many other outlets, we pay our writers and mentor diverse new voices, including First Nations, regional and emerging young writers.
Seesaw Magazine was founded in 2017 by arts writers Nina Levy and Varnya Bromilow to fill a critical gap in cultural coverage by mainstream media. The public value of arts and culture in WA was under threat by the shrinking coverage and critical appraisal of the sector.
In 2018 Seesaw merged with Rosalind Appleby’s platform Noted and was staffed by volunteer editors and writers until December 2019 when the platform was incorporated as a not-for-profit association to enhance our sustainability.
Seesaw remains the only platform of its kind in WA, providing the most dedicated and comprehensive multi-arts coverage in the State.
We are a unique WA arts service deeply connected to the sector. We stand as an independent analyst and journal of record. As a one-stop media outlet, we bring arts news, reviews and awareness to public attention, helping attract and build audiences for the arts. Our work also plays a vital role in informing policy makers, grant bodies, sponsors and philanthropists.
We love the arts and want to ensure the continuity of journalism as a crucial part of the arts ecosystem. Take your time to browse, join the conversation, share with your friends and support us.
Together we are building a thriving arts community in Western Australia.
