The Hatched: National Graduate Show features work by recent arts graduates of the highest calibre from art schools all over the country. With work by 35 graduates carefully selected from 3 tertiary institutions in each of Australia’s states and territories, Hatched 2017 once again tested the pulse of the nation’s emerging arts practices while acting as an important springboard for artistic careers.

The $40,000 Schenberg Art Fellowship was awarded to one outstanding Hatched artist as an investment in the development of their career. 2017 was the eighth year that PICA has worked with the University of Western Australia and the trustees of the Dr Harold Schenberg trust to present this generous cash prize.
