Voting NOW Open
The excitement is in the air – one of Western Australia’s most vibrant cultural showcases is happening right now! The 2025 Jury Art Prize is officially open, and this year’s exhibition features an extraordinary lineup of 48 finalists whose works capture the richness, diversity, and innovation of regional artistic practice.
These talented artists – emerging, mid-career, and established – represent the very best from across the state. Their creations span a wide array of mediums and styles, offering a powerful, thought-provoking experience that celebrates both individual expression and collective identity.
The Jury Art Prize has become a cornerstone of the regional arts calendar, drawing visitors from near and far. It’s a unique platform where artists gain well-deserved exposure, recognition, and connection. For the finalists, it’s a chance to have their work professionally exhibited and seen by collectors, curators, and art lovers alike.
Running from 7 June to 18 July 2025, this is your chance to immerse yourself in the depth and brilliance of regional WA art – all in one inspiring space.
