Congratulations to the 212 finalists from across Australia who have been selected to exhibit in our annual Environmental Art & Design Prize Exhibition, across three Northern Beaches venues from Friday 5 August to Sunday 28 August.

Finalists, selected from over 640 artists and designers from across Australia, submitted works across nine categories, offering fresh perspectives on our global climate crisis and issues of living sustainability. 

Works encompass a range of contemporary practices, from fashion and design to ceramics and small sculpture, painting and mixed media, photography, digital media, film and video, functional and wearable design and more will be on display.

The prize brings together a dynamic community of artists, designers, and audiences from across Australia who care deeply about our future on the planet.
