Something exciting just happened — Barking Gecko Theatre and AWESOME Arts have joined forces to become Barking Gecko Arts! This powerful partnership brings together over 35 years of creative magic to deliver even more inspiring arts experiences for children and families across WA.
To celebrate, we’re launching The Great Gecko Naming Adventure — a fun, interactive campaign where your child gets to help name our brand-new gecko character, who will join Alistair the monster to become one of the official faces of Barking Gecko Arts!
This isn’t just about picking a name — it’s about shaping a character who reflects imagination, creativity, and the joyful spirit of this new chapter. And through your donation, you’re helping us continue to bring world-class arts programs to young people, wherever they are.
How It Works:
Donate from just $25 to receive entry tokens
Submit your child’s gecko name idea and personality traits
Get involved in a WA-wide creative adventure
Be part of our new beginning as Barking Gecko Arts!
Amazing Prizes:
Winning artwork featured on our Imaginarium portal
Exclusive Gecko merch packs
Invitations to the big Name Reveal Celebration
Access to the new Gecko Clubhouse — a creative online hub for families
By participating, your family becomes part of something bigger:
a new, unified arts organisation dedicated to empowering children’s voices and imaginations in homes, schools, and communities across WA. Let’s imagine bigger — together!
Your Donation Makes a Real Difference
When you take part in The Great Gecko Naming Adventure, you're doing more than joining a fun campaign — you're opening doors to the arts for children who might not otherwise get the chance.
Your generosity helps us:
At Barking Gecko Arts, we believe the arts aren’t a luxury — they're a human right. Every child deserves to dream, imagine, and see their world reflected on stage.
As a registered charity, your donation directly supports our mission to make theatre and creative experiences more inclusive, more exciting, and more available to every young person in Western Australia — no matter their background, postcode, or ability.
Together, we can build a future where every child has access to the wonder and power of the arts.
Thank you for believing in that vision with us.
