The 63 selected works by 2025 Year 12 Visual Arts graduates from 43 schools across WA provide a window into young people’s private, social, and artistic concerns. Celebrating 34 years, Pulse is an inspiring, rewarding, and insightful look at the world through the minds of our most talented young artists.
To Nov 8 All the secrets are buried between the oceans and the mountains by Stormie Mills. From street walls to the state gallery, Mills has spent 40 years painting a path of connection. This first Australian state gallery exhibition presents a new body of work reflecting a career that began with a mark on a wall in the darkness of night and now reaches public spaces and galleries worldwide. Shaped by formative encounters and global travel, Mills moves between places where stories are hidden and shared. These stories move among our layered selves and surroundings, and into galleries where ideas are gathered and brought into view. The exhibition explores the people and places Mills has encountered – individuals with their own secrets, forming communities connected through a shared creative language.
To April 25, 2027 Bruce Asbestos: Cranky Pants, in collaboration with UK artist Bruce Asbestos, is an interactive exhibition celebrating rebellious emotion and disobedient design. Set within a vivid pop art world of larger-than-life characters, families and participants of all ages are invited to design hyper-couture costumes and accessories. As a joyful rejection of perfection and prettiness, the exhibition encourages participants to expand their emotional range and sense of self through unruly experiments on the catwalk.
To May 2, 2027 Attachment Styles: Modes of Belonging in Modern and Contemporary Art. Why do we crave closeness while keeping one foot out the door? Why do we love, withdraw, cling to, or sabotage our connections with others? This exhibition brings together works from the 19th to 21st century to explore these questions, showing how artists have long grappled with the emotional complexity of human relationships between individuals, communities, and the environments they inhabit.
Ongoing I AM: Aboriginal art from the State Art Collection celebrates the diversity of Aboriginal art and culture. The exhibition centres on personal and shared stories that elevate Aboriginal knowledge and perspectives on the world and our place in it. Themes span Ancestral Creation Stories, artists’ connections to Country, and lived experience. The exhibition reflects the dynamism of Aboriginal art from deeply rooted traditions to bold contemporary expression.
