STILL: National Still Life Award is Yarrila Arts and Museum’s biennial acquisitive art award, established in 2017 to support and showcase contemporary still life practice. The award aims to highlight the diversity, innovation and ongoing relevance of this genre across a wide range of media.
Open to artists at all stages of their careers, STILL welcomes work in painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, video, installation and more. In 2025, we are pleased to present the fifth iteration of the exhibition, featuring 70 finalists selected from across Australia.
The judges for STILL 2025 were: Dr Victoria Wareham, Australian Cinémathèque, Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art; Cath Fogarty, Artist and Ceramics Teacher, TAFE NSW Coffs Harbour, and Carrie Kibbler, Service Leader, Gallery and Museum
