Revealed: New and Emerging WA Aboriginal Artists—the state's leading annual art market and exhibition—returns to Boorloo/Perth in 2025, showcasing works from more than 400 artists.
Presented by the Aboriginal Art Centre Hub Western Australia (AACHWA) in collaboration with the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) and the WA Museum, the event runs from 11 April to 15 June.
Now in its 17th year, Revealed makes a significant return to the Perth CBD, taking over the Cultural Centre for the most extensive display of Western Australian Aboriginal art.
The program features a free exhibition, an art market, and a series of special events spanning a diverse range of artistic expressions.
Bringing together emerging and mid-career artists from across Western Australia—including the Mid-West, South-West, Pilbara, Western Desert, and Kimberley regions—Revealed highlights the rich diversity and innovation of Aboriginal art and culture.
The exhibition fosters a deeper understanding of Aboriginal art's profound connection to Country through a contemporary lens.
Beyond showcasing talent, Revealed plays a pivotal role in supporting Aboriginal artists and communities.
It is WA's largest economic opportunity for Aboriginal artists and art centres, ensuring that 100 per cent of sales go directly to the artists and their communities. The event also amplifies the visibility of Aboriginal artists and fosters new career pathways.
Since 2023, Revealed has been proudly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led and governed, delivered under the custodianship of AACHWA—the peak advocacy and development body for Aboriginal art centres in WA.
"Presenting Revealed in the heart of Perth city brings art centres and artists to the forefront of our cultural conversation," AACHWA chief executive officer Chad Creighton said.
"As WA's largest showcase of Aboriginal art, Revealed is a celebration of the incredible diversity and richness of Aboriginal art and cultures across the state."
On Saturday 12 April, the Revealed Art Market will transform the WA Museum Boola Bardip into a bustling hub where visitors can buy art directly from artists and art centres.
Featuring more than 35 stalls and representing more than 20 Aboriginal art centres, the market brings together independent artists, industry representatives, and community members for a dynamic, street-style cultural experience.
WA Museum CEO, Alec Coles, said the Museum is thrilled to be hosting this year's Revealed Art Market as part of its return to the Perth CBD.
Mr Coles said providing Aboriginal artists with the opportunity to showcase their work to new and diverse audiences is such an important part of Western Australia's story, both past and present.
For the first time, the highly anticipated Revealed Exhibition will be housed in PICA's vast central gallery, featuring nearly 150 artworks by more than 85 artists, including 47 exhibiting for the first time.
Curated by Whadjuk, Ballardong, and Wilman Noongar artist and curator Zali Morgan, the exhibition welcomes Aboriginal artists from across WA working in any medium.
The final selection of works was made by a panel of independent industry professionals including Sharyn Egan, Debra Miller, Tyrown Waigana, and Zali Morgan.
Seventeen independent artists will join more than 20 art centres to showcase a diverse range of works—including painting, printmaking, drawing, carving, sculpture, and weaving—offering visitors an immersive cultural experience.
PICA chief executive officer and director, Hannah Mathews, described Revealed as a major achievement in supporting First Nations artists.
She highlighted the privilege of collaborating with Zali Morgan to present the showcase, including the Weekends at PICA program, which celebrates Aboriginal culture through performance, food, art, and film.
Mathews also expressed her excitement for visitors to experience the exceptional lineup of artists featured in Revealed.
All artworks in the exhibition will be available for purchase, with proceeds directly benefiting Aboriginal artists, art centres, and their communities.
