Wyndham Art Prize 2026

Explore a diverse exhibition of artworks by 80 finalists selected for the Wyndham Art Prize.

Established in 2015, the Wyndham Art Prize has expanded to become one of Australia's largest art awards, distinguished by the high number of artists shortlisted each year.

This year's submissions reveal a notable focus on materiality, with artists working across an impressive range of textures and mediums. Painting, sculpture and photography feature strongly, complemented by equally compelling works in textiles, drawing and installation.

The 2026 Judging Panel features acclaimed artist and past Wyndham Art Prize winner Camille Hannah; Kendrah Morgan, Head Curator at the Heide Museum of Modern Art; and Maya Hodge (Lardil), curator and writer.
