The Brisbane Portrait Prize is all about celebrating Brisbane portrait artists and their sitters, while encouraging public engagement with the arts.
The Brisbane Portrait Prize:
Encourages excellence, creates opportunity for artists and increases engagement in the arts, by providing space for artists to explore contemporary portraiture, encompassing notions of story telling in the digital age.
Encourages artists at every stage of their careers, provides mentoring opportunities, peer and public recognition and career advancement.
Creates opportunity for audiences to broaden their thinking about their city, the community, and the world, by engaging with the artistic process, and the narratives of the sitters.
