Tatiara Art Prize

​

 

The Tatiara Art Prize is a popular, biennial, open-themed exhibition presented by the Tatiara District Council at the Walkway Gallery. The prize attracts thousands of visitors and hundreds of entries from artists from right across Australia, consisting of drawing, painting, printmaking, wall based sculpture, photo media and mixed-media artwork. ​

​

Established in 2013, the Tatiara Art Prize was founded at a time when only a small handful of art prizes were in existence in South Australia and the arts community had very little support and few opportunities to exhibit their work.

 

Tatiara District Council funds the prize and acquires each year’s winning artwork, forming the basis of the Tatiara Art Collection. The winning artworks collected since 2013 form a splendid collection of modern and contemporary Australian art, and over time will reflect all the developments in Australian art practices.  

​

The inaugural winner in 2013 was Deidre But-Husaim (SA). Since then the prize has been won by Laura Wills (SA), Anna Horne (SA), Louise Flaherty (SA) Deborah Prior (SA) and Ray Harris (SA). Past judges also included notable Australian art figures such as Dr Lisa Slade (Hugh Ramsay Chair of Australian Art History, University of Melbourne), Sara Waters (artist), Ben Quilty (artist), Tansy Curtin (Curator, International Art pre-1980, Art Gallery of South Australia), Rebecca Evans (Curator Decorative Arts and Design, Art Gallery of South Australia), Lauren Mustillo (Country Arts SA), Joshua White (Director, Hamilton Gallery) and many more. 

​

As we gear up for the 2025 event, we’re inviting both small and large businesses to join us as sponsors and play a pivotal role in nurturing the arts in the Limestone Coast.
