NSW Visual Arts Fellowship (Emerging) 2025

The NSW Visual Arts Fellowship (Emerging) program celebrates the dynamism of early-career artists in New South Wales. Presented in partnership with Create NSW, a shortlist of finalists is selected each year by an independent panel of esteemed industry peers to work closely with an early-career curator. Within this supportive environment, artists are encouraged to be experimental, expansive, and risk-taking, developing ambitious presentations for a group exhibition at Artspace. Grounded in professional development, the program fosters artistic innovation, peer relationships, curatorial advocacy, collaboration and network building. Representing a breadth of conceptual and material explorations, the VAF(E) exhibition offers an insightful survey into how emerging artists are pushing boundaries and engaging with the critical ideas of our times.
