The Alice Prize
27 March 2026 - 8 June 2026
Araluen Arts Centre
Alice Springs, NT
The Alice Prize welcomes all Australian artists - established and emerging; urban, regional and remote - working in painting, performance, textiles, ceramics, photography, digital media, sculpture, sound, installation and more.
Finalists are selected blind by an expert panel, the award is decided by a respected national judge, and the winning acquired work will join a public collection that lives in Central Australia - allowing audiences to learn from, challenge and celebrate contemporary creativity over time.
The Alice Springs Art Foundation are proud to present The Alice Prize in a region known internationally for contemporary Aboriginal art, and we’re equally clear about our remit: to showcase fresh work from right across Australia. That way, Central Australians encounter a broader mix of practices and perspectives, and Australian artists gain a vibrant national platform in the Centre.
Fernando was selected for his work Escarapela (self-portrait).
