2025 Mosman Art Prize

Now in its 78th year, the Mosman Art Prize is Australia’s longest-running municipal art award and is widely regarded as the most prestigious and relevant painting prize in the country. Established in 1947, the Prize has become a defining platform for contemporary Australian painting; a place where ideas, identity, and the spirit of our times are expressed through the enduring power of paint. 

This year’s winning painting will go into the Collection and sit alongside such esteemed artists as Cressida Campbell, Grace Cossington Smith, Lucy Culliton, Guan Wei, Adam Cullen, Nicholas Harding, Lloyd Rees, Guy Warren, Margo Lewers, Jumaadi, Elisabeth Cummings, Natasha Walsh, Michael Zavros and Margaret Olley – who was the inaugural winner in 1947.

There will be two artist talks Wednesday 27 August, 6-8pm and Wednesday 15 October, 6-8pm. Booking details will be available closer to the date.
There will be a Highlights Tour by our knowledgeable Gallery Guides on Sunday 2 November. Booking details will be available closer to the date.
