A community fundraising campaign for Between Suns at Vessel Contemporary
Art is an important ingredient that informs the change we want as a group. Art gives us a chance to imagine, and in many cases to practice, a new kind of world. Without creativity, a harmonious change will not be possible
- Khaled Sabsabi
We believe in independent contemporary art — and in its irreplaceable role in critical thinking, open dialogue, and a better future. When contemporary art thrives, communities think more freely, more deeply, and more honestly. But right now, independent arts organisations like Vessel need your help to make it happen.
This August, Khaled Sabsabi comes to Fremantle.
Drawing on nearly 30 years of practice, Sabsabi’s Between Suns is immersive, timely, and necessary. This is one of the most significant exhibitions to come to Vessel and to Fremantle in years. A once-in-a-generation moment for WA audiences.
Art is a conversation. And this one matters.
We need your help to finish what we’ve started.
Despite our best efforts, we were unsuccessful in securing government support for this exhibition. As an independent organisation, we’ve fundraised hard and built most of what we need — but we can’t get there without our community.
We’re asking the community to help us raise $15,000.
Every donation, from $20 to $1,000, directly enables ‘Between Suns’ to open its doors. Every contribution counts. Every contribution is acknowledged.
As our thank you, every donor will receive a special invitation to an exclusive early opening event — a first look at Between Suns before it opens to the public.
Be part of something truly special.
Independent art takes collective action — from people who believe, as we do, that the society we want is one where art, critical thinking, and free expression are protected and celebrated.
This is your invitation to be part of that.
