Hatched 2018

Hatched 2018

Since 1992, the Hatched: National Graduate Show has presented the work of over 1000 artists alongside that of their national peers in this unique showcase of emergent talent. Many of Australia’s most successful artistic careers have been launched this way.
From painting, sculpture and drawing, to installation, video, and sound work, this exhibition offers an intriguing snapshot of current contemporary art practices in Australia.

Hatched is one of the most enduring and fundamental ways that PICA fulfils its mission of supporting innovative new art practices and providing artists with career nurturing opportunities. Hatched tests the pulse of the nation’s emerging arts scene while acting as an important platform for the next generation of Australian artists.

Hatched 2018 presented 30 artists from 23 art schools across the country. This exhibition was generously supported by Major Exhibition Partner Minderoo.
