The Hatched: National Graduate Show maps the trends and concerns of Australia’s next generation of emerging contemporary artists. Featuring 34 graduates from 23 art schools and universities nationally, Hatched is a celebration of the most exciting emerging artists from across the country.

The $35,000 Schenberg Art Fellowship is awarded to one of these emerging artists for career development. 2016 was the seventh year that PICA has worked with the University of Western Australia and the trustees of the Dr Harold Schenberg bequest to present this generous cash prize to one outstanding Hatched artist. Curated by Nadia Johnson.
