Exhibition Dates: 21–28 June 2025

Venue: Le Grange Gallery, World Trade Centre Melbourne

Presented by the Australia Multi Arts and Culture Council (AMACC) and Creative Asia Foundation

A Platform for Cultural Expression and Creative Futures

In contemporary art today, multiculturalism is not just a theme — it is a vital creative force and way of thinking. Emerging Art Beat was born from this belief: that diverse cultural experiences, languages, and identities are the foundation of bold and necessary artistic expression.

Under the theme “Of Memory, and the Worlds We’re Yet to Make”, the exhibition invites young artists to explore how personal, cultural, and imagined memory shapes identity, creative practice, and visions of the future. We believe the most powerful artistic languages often emerge from those stories and perspectives outside the mainstream.

We welcome submissions from:
