Revealed Showcase Moves to Perth Cultural Centre In 2025
The Aboriginal Arts Centre Hub of WA (AACHWA) is delighted to announce new partnerships for Aboriginal art showcase Revealed, with Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) and Western Australian Museum (WA Museum) coming on board in 2025.
These exciting partnerships will bring the annual celebration of Aboriginal art and culture to the Perth Cultural Centre, reaching new audiences and opening new opportunities.
Revealed brings WA Aboriginal arts centres and independent artists to Perth for an exhibition, art market, and more. Since its inception in 2008, the showcase has grown into a highlight on the arts calendar, and it moves back to Perth after ten highly successful years at the Fremantle Arts Centre.
The WA Museum will host the hugely popular art market, WA’s largest opportunity for Aboriginal artists to sell their work. While PICA will host the Revealed exhibition, an unmissable showcase of artworks from emerging Aboriginal artists from across WA.
Boola Bardip is Nyoongar for ‘many stories’. It is a place where those stories can be shared and so is the perfect place for artists from across the state to share their journeys, their practice and their works.
With AACHWA taking the reins in November 2023, Revealed is now Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led and governed, bringing AACHWA’s deep understanding and engagement with the Aboriginal art scene across Western Australia and reflecting the needs and aspirations of artists and communities.
The call-out to artists for the 2025 Revealed exhibition is fast approaching, with submissions opening in mid-September 2024. The works will be chosen by an expert selection panel of Aboriginal artists and curators.
Artworks may include a wide range of mediums including painting, animation, printmaking, textiles, sculpture and multimedia works from Aboriginal artists in remote, regional and metropolitan WA.
Each artwork shares unique narratives of connection to Country, culture and regional life, giving visitors a better understanding and respect for the diversity of WA’s Aboriginal cultures.
The changes to Revealed are Aboriginal led and present new ways to shine an even brighter light on our artists and communities, as well as extend further opportunities to Western Australia’s Aboriginal artists and art centres.
Revealed Exhibition opens on Friday 4 April 2025 at PICA
Revealed Art Market is on Saturday 5 April 2025 at WA Museum
