Revealed, the biggest and best annual event for sharing, supporting and experiencing new Aboriginal art from Western Australia returns to Fremantle Arts Centre from Friday 12 April.
Across a program of public talks, art market and exhibition, Revealed explores the rich and diverse creative practices of Aboriginal artists from across the state. With a focus on emerging art, Revealed is a chance to see new creative directions and works by the next generation of artists.
In the biggest Revealed to date, artists from 25 remote and regional Aboriginal Art Centres and independent artists will attend and participate in Revealed.
FAC Special Projects Coordinator Erin Coates said,
“Attending Revealed is one of the best ways you can celebrate and support the amazing Aboriginal artists in our state. This year will be the largest and most diverse exhibition to date, with artworks spanning digital media, painting, carved objects, prints, textiles and installation.”
Revealed is an initiative of the WA State Government through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries; and the Australian Government through the Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support program.

Revealed: WA Aboriginal Art Market
The Revealed WA Aboriginal Art Market has quickly become one of the must-attend events on the Perth art calendar. This is the only day of the year that Perth art lovers can buy original, affordable works by Aboriginal artists from all over the state in one place.
The market features stalls from regional Aboriginal art centes and independent Aboriginal artists, with many traveling huge distances from remote parts of WA to take part. Works start from as little as $50 and all profits from sales return to the artists and art centres.
“Last year’s Revealed market was attended by more than 3,000 people and generated over $420,000 for the art centres and artists who took part,” said FAC Director Jim Cathcart. “This is a really significant event for the WA arts and I hope people will continue to support the great work of these artists at this year’s market.”
There will be a great range of artworks to browse in the beautiful surrounds of FAC’s Front Garden including paintings, textiles, woven items, artefacts, clothing, ceramics, jewellery and more. Attendees will also have an opportunity to meet some of the state’s most talented Aboriginal artists.
