With a prize pool of more than $45,000, this competition aims to ignite the passion and courage of artists across the country, many of whom lost the opportunity to display and sell their work during 2020-2021 with its devastating impact on the arts sector.
The annual National Capital Art Prize is established to:
- Promote culturally diverse artistic endeavours
- Showcase the talent of Australian artists
- Support the artistic education and endeavours of young people
- Nurture the creative development of artists in Australia
- Provide a forum where art can be viewed, studied, critiqued and sold
The inaugural 2022 competition offers an exciting platform for Australian artists of all genres, ages and level of experience.
