Welcome to Best of Artbeat, your weekly podcast celebrating local art and culture in Perth.

In this Friday’s edition, Bec Bowman is joined by Donna Forsyth to discuss the cancellation of the [Boyup Brook Country Music Festival](https://www.countrymusicwa.com.au/) due to COVID and the impact of losing art events, particularly in small communities during this time.

She is also joined by Len James to chat about a new Perth Raine Square exhibition [The Gratitude Gallery](https://perthisok.com/news/gratitude-gallery/) at Raine Square – a collaboration between Uniting WA and UneARThed - featuring the art of five local artists with lived experiences of homelessness in Perth.

And Linda Iriza speaks about the Rhythm is Rhythm project, championing Bla(c)k and brown artists to take up more space in the music scene.
