    On behalf of the Colour Society of Australia, the Western Australian Division is proud to announce that the CSA National Conference for 2023, Colour Sense and Sensibility will be held in Perth, Western Australia, on October 12-15 of this year. It will be a “hybrid” conference where papers can be presented live on site or either live or pre-recorded from a distance by Zoom, so that international presenters can participate before an international audience on Zoom. Registrations will open on June 16 with an early-bird price for both live and Zoom participants.

    About the conference theme

    The theme Colour Sense and Sensibility acknowledges the pervasive impact of colour in our natural and constructed environments. Participants are invited to consider how their own work involving colour may be of interest and of importance in shaping and influencing our visual experience. We encourage participation from designers, artists and other colour practitioners whose work references scientific or philosophical understanding of colour, from colour educators whose teaching programs span the art-science divide, and from scientific, historical and other researchers who believe that their insights about colour have relevance beyond their specialised areas of interest.

    • Colour and Language | Psychology of Colour I Colour Aesthetics I Colour Symbolism I Philosophy of Colour
