We are thrilled to be sharing with you Rising Stars 2025 – our annual showcase of extraordinary up-and-coming Aboriginal artists, extending from the Tiwi Islands to the APY lands.

This dynamic group exhibition has always been a highlight of Outstation’s art calendar, but this year it is so much more! Not only does it celebrate 17 incredible artists, but it also marks the merging of Paul Johnstone Gallery and Outstation – Art from Art Centres – and is so grand and glorious that it is on show across two incredible locations.

Rising Stars Part 1 opens this Thursday down at the Waterfront, at a pop-up space near the Lagoon, next to Surf Dive ‘n Ski. This temporary space will feature a range of exhibitions over the coming months while work continues on our permanent gallery by the water, and right now it is alive with breathtaking barks and powerful spirits.

Visit Rising Stars Part 1 and see on the walls the beautiful patterned ochre work of Barbara Puruntatameri from Jilamara Arts as well as stunning Buku Larrnggay Mulka barks from Gapaya Munuŋgurr and Merrkiyawuy Munuŋgurr, and from Maningrida, a number of fabulous Lucy Yarawanga’s Bawaliba spirits.

It’s also worth visiting just to meet the Devil Spirits by Warmun artist Peter Thomas. They are dark and delightful.

Rising Stars Part 2 launches Tuesday April 15 at our beloved former Outstation space upstairs at Parap, with phenomenal collaborative paintings from the Mimili Maku women, hypnotic works from Vincent Nanala from Warlayirti Artists and rich red pieces by Iwantja Arts’ Trisha Singer – just to name a few.
