Kalgoorlie-Boulder is fast emerging as a regional arts and culture destination, shaped by its rich industrial roots and vibrant, multicultural community. The annual Art Prize stands as a celebration of this creative spirit—offering a platform for local and national artists to showcase their work.
Over the years, the City has transformed the Art Prize into a contemporary and dynamic event. With an expanded prize pool, professional development opportunities for artists, and a strong focus on curating a high-quality exhibition, the competition now attracts submissions from across Australia.
These efforts have paid off, with the Art Prize continuing to grow in popularity—drawing over 300 guests to the awards night and welcoming close to 2,000 visitors to the exhibition each year.
