The original name "Bathers Beach Art Precinct" was first coined by the resident artists on 28 September 2009, when Kidogo Arthouse Fremantle resident artist and director, Joanna Robertson, invited all the practising artists in the area to Kidogo Arthouse for a formal meeting to look at ways we could work more closely together to attract visitors to the Arthurs Head-Bathers Beach area. This was the first time all the artists in the area had ever met in one room together at one time!

Bathers Beach, off Mews Road ''or'' Fleet Street - Fremantle, Australia

In 1829 British settlers claimed the land and in 1831 built Western Australia’s oldest public building, the Round House jail, on the natural promontory of Arthur Head. The Roundhouse, the Whaler's Tunnel which runs underneath it and the other historic and natural features of the area make for a wonderful journey through history, nature, culture and art.

Bathers Bay to Wadjemup states:  

The Round House jail was the first building to imprison Indigenous peoples of this land. Bathers Bay to Wadjemup further states:  

''"It was from this site [Round House] that Aboriginal prisoners were taken to Wadjemup [Rottnest Island]. For nearly a century, Wadjemup served as a prison for around 3700 male Aboriginals from Western Australia. Many were warriors and leaders who had borne the brunt of settlement frontier conflict. It is reported that 369 Aboriginal prisoners died between 1838 and 1931. They are currently buried in an Aboriginal cemetery within the Thomson Bay Settlement."''
