Fertile Soil: 50 Years of the City of Fremantle Art Collection
12 December to January 17
This exhibition marks a significant cultural milestone for the largest municipal art collection in Western Australia.
From the seeds of the original donation of 41 paintings by Sir Claude Hotchin in 1958, Fremantle's art collection has largely grown from the rich exhibition and artist in residence program of the Fremantle Arts Centre, which has been a 'hotbed' for visual arts in the port city since 1973.
The exhibition will highlight the work of twenty Western Australian practitioners who have lived and worked in Fremantle and made an important contribution to the visual arts culture of the city. The exhibition will include examples of contemporary Western Australia art spanning three decades; represent the strengths of the collection in painting, print, drawing, assemblage and ceramics, and strike a balance of work produced by established and emerging artists.
