Secret Art | Darwin Fringe Festival and LAUNCH Darwin

Darwin Fringe’s annual showcase of new unreleased works by visual artists aged 12-25 Secret Art reflects the incredible local talent brewing just below the surface. Supported by LAUNCH Darwin the initiative aims to create vital opportunities for young artists to build exhibition skills and confidence while sharing one of their latest works.

The Darwin Fringe Festival is the biggest platform for emerging, independent and experimental creatives in the Northern Territory.

City of Darwin’s LAUNCH youth program provides young people in Darwin with opportunities to connect, build skills and contribute to their community.
