Now in its tenth year, Gallery East joins Perth Galleries for the third time to showcase the work of recent graduate artists from the Universities and TAFE Art schools. Selected by the directors of these two leading contemporary art galleries in consultation with the Art schools, the graduate artists are afforded an opportunity to exhibit their work as a stepping stone in bringing their work to the public and furthering their careers. This highly popular exhibition promises once again to be innovative, imaginative, highly enjoyable and very good value.
