ACAR Art Prize
2026
The ACAR Art Prize is awarded by Australia China Art Residency Ltd (ACAR). It is specifically designed to honour artistic excellence and to recogize artists who are outstanding advocates for Australia-China cultural exchange.
Travelling through China I was struck by vast rural vistas, not dissimilar to the views I am familiar with.
StillLIFE tells of hay as a life-sustaining resource; coming from the land and then returning to it. The cycle of life.
China and Australia share a respect for the natural environment. It shapes the way we live and the art we make.

Natural History Illustration and Beyond
Natural history illustration is drawing and painting in exquisite detail using fine pencils, pens and brushes to describe the natural world. The artform extends to sculpture and installation.
The University of Newcastle's Natural History Illustration degree was unique world-wide and well respected for its high degree of excellence. Unfortunately the degree no longer exists but the alumni are thriving.
Course convenor Dr Trevor Weekes has long held a desire to revisit Natural History Illustration. Together with Jo Chisolm-Ray from Cstudios and the University Gallery, University of Newcastle, Dr Weekes has curated concurrent exhibitions giving us Natural History Illustration and Beyond.

Gallipoli Art Prize 2026
The Gallipoli Art Prize is awarded annually to the artwork demonstrating the spirit of the Gallipoli campaign and embracing the Gallipoli Club's Creed.
We believe that within the community there exists an obligation for all to preserve the special qualities of loyalty, respect, love of country, courage and comradeship which were personified by the heroes of the Gallipoli Campaign and bequeathed to all humanity as a foundation for perpetual peace and universal freedom.
