The NSW Visual Arts Fellowship (Emerging) program celebrates the dynamism of early-career artists in New South Wales. The 2025 shortlisted finalists are Ellen Ferrier, Ellie Hannon, Ali Noble, Vedika Rampal, Joel Sherwood-Spring and Ali Tahayori, who have all been working with Sarah Rose, Artspace’s Associate Curator.

Presented in partnership with Create NSW, and representing a breadth of conceptual and material explorations, the VAF(E) exhibition offers an insightful survey into how emerging artists are pushing boundaries and engaging with the critical ideas of our times.
