This exhibition showcased First Nations artists Emma Salmon, Njarala Paton, Garen Smith, Graham Patterson, Stacey Payten and Taylah Eid. Exhibiting together for the first time, the artists presented works across painting, weaving, video, sculpture and installation practices.

In 2024, Arts in Maroondah and Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place partnered to develop a callout for emerging First Nations artists. The aim was to create an exhibition showcasing artists at the beginning of their careers.The artists in Arise were selected through this process.

Arise presented a strong and diverse body of work that brings together traditional and contemporary approaches which together reflected the creative energy of emerging First Nations art practices now.
