The work of 24 recent visual arts graduates from every State and Territory took over the PICA galleries for the Hatched National Graduate Show 2020. An enduring institution and a key event in PICA’s ongoing commitment to supporting the careers of Australia’s most promising emerging artists, Hatched features the work of freshly graduated artists from across the country.
From questions of identity, political protest, and media consumption, the innovative and exciting range of practices presented in Hatched tells the story of contemporary Australian culture whilst showcasing the future directions of arts practice.
For the eleventh consecutive year, the Dr Harold Schenberg Art Fellowship of $50,000, presented in partnership with the University of Western Australia (UWA) and now the most generous prize of its kind in the country, was awarded to Tina Stefanou.
