Celebrating the next wave of Victorian graduates in contemporary craft and design. Presented annually since 1993, Fresh! showcases the energy, skill and innovation of some of the best graduating students from craft, design and fine art disciplines throughout the state. ‘Fresh!’ provides an important opportunity for graduates beginning their career as makers.
The exhibition fosters the potential of graduating students and provides an insight into new directions of contemporary craft.
Each year, Craft Victoria and an invited team of craft and design professionals view graduate exhibitions across Victoria to search for the freshest emerging makers working within craft and design disciplines. The 2025 Fresh! selection panel includes: Jake Nakashima-Edwards, Danielle Thiris, Anke Kindle and Craft Victoria's Anni Hagberg, Exhibitions and Programs Manager and Georgina Loughnan, Creative Projects Assistant.
The 2025 Fresh! Finalists and Awards will be announced in the new year, stay tuned for more!
