The annual Hatched: National Graduate Show tracks the changing trends and developments in emerging contemporary art by providing an annual snapshot of the country’s aesthetic mood.  It has become a vital compass in identifying a new generation of emerging artists, fresh out of art school and eager to embark on their careers.  

2015 saw the 24th iteration of Hatched, still the only national exhibition of its kind and, once again, a celebration of the most talented graduate artists from 22 of Australia’s best art schools and universities. Curated by Nadia Johnson.
