Art a la cArte!

Picasso's on Walcott has something new on the menu – a dish served with lots of colour, abstract forms and tastes to suit everyone’s palate – and its on the walls!

Artists in Arms and Picasso’s (formerly The Church Restaurant), two creative forces have joined to present a unique opportunity to merge a fine dining experience with a preview of the latest artistic works by some of the most up and coming artists in WA, with the underlying theme of raising funds for youth in crisis.

All artwork displayed is available for purchase – so slink into the casual ambience, sip on a refreshing drink and sample dishes from Picasso’s creative and unique menu and enjoy these wonderful artworks and buy. Current artworks on display are by Judith Brooks, Alba Cinquini, David Giles, Marie Hammat, Sue Leeming, Lawrence Marshall, Annie Rawle, Diana Selentin and Julie Wilkinson all showing at Picasso’s on Walcott Bar and Restaurant from 7 December till 16 February 2008.

Artists in Arms (AinA) was founded 2 years ago and is a not-for-profit foundation established in Western Australia with full charity status as defined by the Australian Taxation office.

Under its charter, AinA promotes the work of emerging and established artists by regular exhibitions, the internet and other avenues. Part proceeds from the sales of their works are directed to supporting our designated charities in the main dealing in the areas of youth in crisis.

These are:

Youth Focus (www.youthfocus.com.au) - a West Australian, non-profit community based organisation working with young people 12-18 years of age who are showing early signs associated with suicide, depression and self-harm, and;

Mercy Ministries (www.mercyministries.com.au) – a non-profit community based residential facility for girls who are dealing with problems such as eating disorders, unplanned pregnancy, depression, abuse and addictions. It exists to see young women aged 16 – 28 years reach their full potential and overcome these life-controlling issues.



Picasso's on Walcott is about funky, casual, cool and relaxed.
Located on the corner of Walcott and Curtis Streets in Mt Lawley Perth, in an old church building complete with enormous vaulted ceilings, vast stained glass windows and an intimate mezzanine floor, we offer one the most unique venues in Australia paired with great service and Australasian inspired cuisine beautifully presented in a tapas style. Picasso's on Walcott is quite unlike anything else in Perth!
