Fremantle Arts Centre - FAC Chats Podcast Fremantle Arts Centre

Timothy Nelson, Odette Mercy and Jon Fernandes are fixtures of Western Australian music. Between them, they’ve won multiple WAM Awards and their talents have seen them traverse the folk, pop, rock, hip hop, soul and funk worlds. All three artists will appear at Fremantle Arts Centre’s upcoming Gallery Sessions, an intimate series of shows in our Main Gallery and Pavlich Room held every Thursday in August. Here they talk about the behind the scenes grind that goes into a great live show - and even more importantly - a great song. 
Gallery Sessions at Fremantle Arts Centre take place every Thursday in August. Tickets on sale here.

The Revealed Exhibition, currently open at Fremantle Arts Centre, showcases over 100 of the best new and emerging Aboriginal artists from Western Australia’s remote and regional art centres, as well as independent and Noongar artists from metropolitan Perth and the South West. 
 
In this episode, Revealed coordinator Katherine Wilkinson speaks with jewellery maker and Revealed artist Natalie Davey from Mankaja Arts in Fitzroy Crossing and Perth jeweller Jessica Jubb. Both artists create work inspired by the natural environment they live in and were able to swap creative ideas while Jubb, a non Aboriginal artist, lived and worked in Fitzroy Crossing. 
Revealed is showing at Fremantle Arts Centre until Sunday July 26.

Tim Rogers has long been celebrated as one of Australia's finest songwriters but in recent years he's applied his wit and lyricism to radio, theater and the printed page. In this interview Tim discusses his new live radio show Liquid Nights in Bohemia Heights, a theatrical reimagining and otherworldy spin off of his Double J radio show. Tim also reflects on life in isolation and what it's meant for an artist whose life is usually spent on the road.
Liquid Nights in Bohemia Heights at Fremantle Arts Centre has been rescheduled to February 20, 2021. Tickets on sale now at www.fac.oztix.com.au

Instagram-based live music festival Isol-Aid has become a must-watch, weekly event for Australian music lovers during COVID19. The initiative emerged 11 weeks ago, incredibly quickly given the uncertainty in the music industry, as a way to put music fans in front of musicians and to facilitate donations to both artists and Australian music charity Support Act. It has since grown significantly to showcase hundreds of artists. In this episode we speak with Isol-Aid co-founder and director Emily Ulman.
