Join us for a dynamic morning at QVMAG as we gather with RISE 2025 artists - identified as representing a new wave of Tasmanian and Australia-based talent, shaping the future of contemporary art.
This FREE event offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the artists about their creative processes, inspirations, and the themes that shape their work—including resilience, identity and transformation.
The event will unfold in three parts:
- Group conversation: A relaxed panel-style discussion where artists share their experiences and reflections on the exhibition.
- Meet the artists: Attendees will have the chance to engage with artists individually near their works for informal, one-on-one conversations.
- Final group discussion: Everyone will regroup for a closing conversation, bringing together artists and audience in a shared dialogue.
Whether you're an art lover, student or curious visitor, this is your chance to connect with the future of contemporary art in Tasmania.
About the exhibition
RISE 2025 features 10 of Tasmania’s most significant emerging artists, spanning a diverse and engaging range of mediums.
New art makers emerge each year in Tasmania to provoke and inspire their audience with creative thinking and craftsmanship, transcendent in its beauty and honest in its intention to impress.
The need for fresh visual arts practitioners to provide a unique, beautiful and challenging voice is more important than ever.
With this second RISE exhibition, QVMAG continues its commitment to support all phases of artists’ creative practice and career progression.
