Portals: past present future Sat 14 Nov 2015 – Sun 13 Dec 2015 9:30am – 5:00pm WA Maritime Museum Portals: past present future offers a unique opportunity for visitors to view and engage with the work of local Western Australian artists. The 23 emerging and established artists featured in this exhibition have drawn inspiration from the WA Maritime Museum Collection and the Port of Fremantle to create objects and paintings that offer visitors a portal into the artists’ interpretations of maritime stories. The evocative, romantic imagery of tall ships, billowing sails, stormy seas and shipwrecks have inspired many. See how these artists’ imaginations have been captured by their exploration of maritime journeys and stories. Some of the subjects featured include microscopic radiolarians, the shy albatross, icebergs, feral animals, past migrants, present day oil and gas workers, the military, convicts and explorers.
