Last Chance to see Revealed 2024
WESTERN AUSTRALIA’S LARGEST SHOWCASE OF ABORIGINAL ART REVEALED CLOSING SOON IN ITS FINAL SHOWING AT FREMANTLE ARTS CENTRE
There’s still time to immerse yourself in the beautiful artworks by some of WA’s most exciting new and emerging artists at landmark Western Australian Aboriginal art exhibition Revealed, but you’ll have to hurry!
The Revealed 2024 exhibition will close on 4 August for the last time at Fremantle Arts Centre where it has been held for more than a decade.
This is the last chance for audiences to see more than 150 artworks, with almost 70 artists representing 27 WA Aboriginal art centres, plus 12 independent artists.
Since moving to Fremantle Arts Centre in 2013, Revealed has grown into the huge success it is today, with the 2024 edition finishing on a high note.
The Revealed art market has long provided an ethical, direct avenue for purchasing art by WA Aboriginal artists and in 2024 sold more than $420,000 of art in seven hours, up by almost 25% on last year.
Revealed is known for championing new and emerging First Nations artists and in 2024 it moved to the leadership of the Aboriginal Art Centre Hub of Western Australia (AACHWA), ushering in a new era of self-determination.
AACHWA Chief Executive Officer Chad Creighton thanked the team at Fremantle Arts Centre for their invaluable contribution to Revealed over the years.
“Fremantle Arts Centre have demonstrated excellence and leadership, be it in their curation of the Revealed exhibition in the past or their care for WA Aboriginal artists as presentation partners for this year’s market and exhibition,” Mr Creighton said.
City of Fremantle Director of Creative Arts and Community Pete Stone said Fremantle Arts Centre was honoured to have been part of the history of Revealed, which has become a highlight in the Western Australian arts calendar.
“We are proud to have given WA audiences the opportunity to immerse themselves in First Nations art and stories,” Mr Stone said.
“As an Aboriginal-led organisation with deep connections to WA’s Aboriginal artists, AACHWA will bring something special to Revealed and we look forward to seeing where they take it next year and into the future.”
AACHWA will be announcing exciting changes to 2025 Revealed program soon. These changes will reflect AACHWA’s unwavering commitment to art creation, cultural strength, best practice, and the wellbeing of Aboriginal artists.
