Mosman Youth Art Prize 2023

Saturday 6 May - Sunday 4 June

Mosman Art Gallery is excited to foster the next generation of artists through the Mosman Youth Art Prize. Each year hundreds of budding artists submit their drawings, paintings, photographs, videos, prints, sculpture and ceramics that form this overview of the artists of the future.

Since its foundation in 1988 by local artist Ken Done AM, numerous artists have started their careers by winning the Mosman Youth Art Prize including Alex Seeton, Natasha Walsh and JD Reforma.
