Now in its second year, the St Columba’s Art Prize is an annual celebration of Australian artists. It seeks to promote diverse forms of creative expression and technical skill. Building upon the success of the inaugural event in 2025, the 2026 Prize invites artists to present ambitious new works, in a variety of mediums, on any theme. Artists will have the opportunity to engage with collectors, art enthusiasts, and the local community and may also be invited to lead workshops and community talks throughout the exhibition period. All Open Prize entries will be for sale. The exhibition will take place in the historic Brauer Hall at St Columba’s Catholic College in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales. This magnificent heritage-listed space provides a striking setting for contemporary art.
