Showcasing artistic talent, on a new stage at the Sydney Opera House

Uncovered is a platform for local artists, makers, creatives and artisans to showcase their artistic excellence through the support of our Uncovered program. It's an opportunity for Australian-designed products to headline a residency in the Sydney Opera House's on-site and online retail shop, and for the creatives to join the growing Uncovered community of alumni participants.

Uncovered 2024

The Sydney Opera House is proud to introduce the artists that form the Uncovered 2024 collection below. We hope you love their wonderful products as much as we do.

Balgarra Designs

Balgarra Designs

Balgarra Designs is 100% Aboriginal owned and operated by Joanne Cassady, a descendant of the Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta Nations, located in NSW and Victoria. The word Balgarra comes from the Wiradjuri language which means “to emit sparks”. Joanne chose Balgarra because of what it represents – the beginning of something new, to ignite a fire. Through the symbolic meaning Joanne hopes to ignite a fire of understanding, education, cultural awareness and unification through her art to the world.

My Flat Mate

My Flat Mate

My Flat Mate, created by Liane Wilcher, combines her passion for Australian animals and her background in design. Each piece is designed and modelled individually and made from basswood, a renewable and recyclable material. Designed as a puzzle, these quirky, unique creations can be assembled and hung or placed as playful, eye-catching pieces of art. My Flat Mate’s Uncovered collection features a range of native Australian birds.
