Overview

Creativity never dies. In its tenth year, HIDDEN will showcase over forty sculptures installed all over the historic Rookwood Cemetery. The exhibition features artists from all over the country and overseas. Tasked with celebrating history, culture, remembrance, and love, each artist has contributed to this outdoor sculpture walk that hides creativity amongst gardens and graves.

The exhibition is free to explore and runs for the entirety of September, kicking off with a launch party at 3pm on Saturday, September 1. Highlights of the unique (and slightly spooky) exhibition include a short film competition — with 10 different flicks — a floating "stairway to heaven" and a performative piece, which takes place every Saturday and Sunday from 12pm.

For those wanting to know some of the stories behind the art pieces, there'll be free tours running throughout the exhibition led by HIDDEN curator Cassandra Lawrie. You can check out the full list of times and book your space here.
