The acclaimed Revealed Aboriginal art exhibition is making a grand return to Perth in 2025, moving from its long-time home at the Fremantle Arts Centre to the Perth Cultural Centre. This annual celebration of Aboriginal art and culture is set to showcase Western Australia’s vibrant and diverse Aboriginal art scene in two of the city’s premier cultural venues.
The Revealed exhibition will open at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) on Friday, 4 April 2025. The following day, Saturday, 5 April 2025, the WA Museum Boola Bardip will host the Revealed Art Market. This change in location aims to reach a broader audience and create new opportunities for both artists and art lovers.
Revealed has become Western Australia’s largest platform for Aboriginal artists to present and sell their work. This year’s event will feature a diverse array of artworks, including paintings, animations, printmaking, textiles, sculpture, and multimedia works. Artists from remote, regional, and metropolitan areas of WA will be represented, each contributing unique narratives that reflect their deep connections to Country, culture, and regional life.
The exhibition and market promise to offer visitors a richer understanding and appreciation of the diversity within WA’s Aboriginal cultures. Artworks will be displayed across various mediums, providing a comprehensive view of the innovative and expressive practices of emerging Aboriginal artists.
The new venues for Revealed are the result of a strategic partnership between the Aboriginal Art Centre Hub Western Australia (AACHWA), the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, and the Western Australian Museum. This collaboration aims to enhance the visibility and engagement of Aboriginal art within Perth’s cultural landscape.
Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman expressed enthusiasm for the event’s new direction. “Since taking the reins in November 2023, AACHWA’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership and governance of Revealed have brought significant success. Their deep understanding of the Aboriginal art scene in Western Australia reflects the needs and aspirations of artists and communities,” Templeman said. He added that the WA Government is proud to support AACHWA in delivering these Aboriginal-led changes, which will offer a fresh perspective on WA’s Aboriginal artists and extend audience engagement opportunities.
The move to the Perth Cultural Centre marks a new chapter for Revealed, promising to further elevate the profile of Aboriginal art and foster greater appreciation and respect for its cultural significance. The exhibition and market will not only spotlight the talents of Aboriginal artists but also engage the public in meaningful dialogues about the rich cultural heritage of Western Australia.
For those interested in experiencing the vibrant and diverse Aboriginal art scene, the Revealed exhibition and art market offer a unique opportunity to engage with and support WA’s Aboriginal artists.
