PHOTOS OF REVEALED ABORIGINAL EXHIBITION
Some photos I took on Saturday morning of the market and REVEALED Aboriginal art exhibition at the Fremantle Arts Centre. It’s a great show, so go have a look!
Around 150 artworks, created by some 70 artists from remote WA communities are on display. Proceeds from the exhibition are returned 100 per cent to the artists and communities.
The first REVEALED was at the FAC in 2008, so it has become a great tradition, that will hopefully continue for a very long time.

EVEN BABIES LOVE THE REVEALED ART SHOW!
The annual REVEALED Aboriginal art exhibition opened at the Fremantle Arts Centre on Thursday evening, so make sure to go and see it.
The art market is on all day today and also well worth a visit. All proceeds will go 100% to the artists and art communities, so support them and buy some wonderful art. The baby above was clearly impressed.
More photos of REVEALED tomorrow morning here on Freoview!

WALYALUP ABORIGINAL CULTURAL CENTRE CELEBRATES 10th ANNIVERSARY
The City of Fremantle Walyalup Aboriginal Cultural Centre celebrated its 10th anniversary on Manjaree/Arthur’s Head today.
It was as always one of those relaxed multicultural gatherings, that shows we have come a long way on our reconciliation journey here in Freo.
I well remember the opening of the centre by then Mayor Brad Pettitt a decade ago, and we still have a long way to go. Mutual respect will achieve that.

THE SOUND OF SILENCE ART EXHIBITION
Voice in Voices is a Ph.D graduation exhibition by Tami Xian in the Moores Contemporary Art Gallery in Fremantle’s Henry Street.
There are a lot of small red megaphones/loudhailers suspended from the ceiling, and is about the many voices that were silenced in China in recent years.

SOUTH FREMANTLE ARTWALK THIS WEEKEND
Here a map with the participating artists in this weekend’s Artwalk Fremantle. It is South Freo this weekend, White Gum Valley the next, and the Monument Hill Precinct the weekend after that.
It is a gorgeous day, so go for a nice slow walk, visit the artists at their studio homes, and maybe even buy a work of art.
This is a ticketed event, so check out details on Facebook, as I am not sure one can buy tickets at the door.

WONDERFUL WARMUN ART AT JAPINGKA
Japingka Gallery in Fremantle’s High Street has another wonderful exhibition of Aboriginal art in the upstairs galleries. It is by artists of the East Kimberley Warmun community and a must to view for all those who love Aboriginal art, as much as I do.
Japingka is the oldest Aboriginal art gallery in Perth and have been in the West End for nearly 30 years. They started as Desert Design in the High Street mall about 35 years ago.

LOTS OF FREMANTLE WEEKEND ACTIVITIES
Get ready for a big weekend, Freo! There will be quite a bit going on, so come enjoy it and take part in it.
Artwalk Fremantle starts on Saturday and Sunday, with artists in South Fremantle opening their studio doors and homes to the public. This is a ticketed event, so check it out on Facebook.
Notre Dame University will be holding their annual Open Day on Saturday from 10am all along Mouat Street and in the campus buildings, so why not have a wander there.
On Sunday Morning from 8am the Fremantle Ports Harbour Master Classic fun run is on along Victoria Quay and the South Mole. It coincides with two cruise ships in the port, so that should also be fun to watch, or participate in.
And those who keep our country going will be having their annual May Day event at the Esplanade, with the parade coming through the inner city from 12 noon. Always a lot of noisy and colourful fun to watch all those unionists getting together.

GREG BAKER EXHIBITION AT GREG JAMES GALLERY
Looking In-Seeing Out (Life in a Circle) is an exhibition of new works by renowned WA artist Greg Baker at the Greg James gallery in Fremantle’s J Shed at Bathers Beach. It is on from May 2 to 23.
Greg Baker’s latest exhibition of over 30 new works, reflects his daily walks near his Coogee home.
About the inspiration for this exhibition, Greg Baker said, ”George Harrison once said, ‘You can see the whole world from the end of your garden’. Taking that literally, my daily walks have inspired the theme for this exhibition – Life in a Circle”.
“Heading from home I walk through a corridor of Tuarts and Redgums to the ‘Woody’ Point Jetty, then along my favourite strip of sand to the Omeo Wreck, past the Coogee Jetty and back home to the studio.”
“I have painted the works for this show during the last four seasons, capturing all changes in light, skies and ocean”.
Prior to 2020 Greg spent half the year in Europe painting and conducting painting workshops and tours. His paintings have been exhibited in Berlin, France, London, Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as throughout Australia.
