Each year, Bloom offers a vital moment to experience and appreciate the vision of the next generation of artists and a chance to encounter emerging voices as they shape, challenge, and expand contemporary practice.
The exhibition highlights the excitement, energy and fresh influence that only new graduates can bring, offering audiences an early glimpse into the artists who will help define the future of Australian art.
This year’s show features graduates from VCA, RMIT and Monash University, bringing together a dynamic cross-section of emerging talent. Bloom creates an important platform for these young artists to gain exposure, share their ideas and introduce their practices to collectors, curators and the broader community.
Come along to the opening celebration on Thursday 12 February, 5pm to 7pm, with guest speaker Anna Gowers, the founder of Art Matters.
