Welcome to our annual Emerging Artist Awards. This year’s theme is “Life Out Loud”
A Celebration of our Emerging Artists’ creativity, and bold expression
In a world that often feels uncertain, heavy, and unrelenting, we want our 2025 exhibition to showcase the work of emerging artists who capture the essence of what it means to live boldly - to find colour, joy, defiance, and meaning in everyday existence. Whether through photography, painting, sculpture, or any other medium, these pieces should reflect a shared refusal to be dulled or diminished by the weight of the times.
Finalists Are:
Richard Burgoyne | Anna Coulbeck | Lisa Watkins | Victoria Toms | Claire Preen | Lily Lei | Edward Prince | Matt Coates | Karen Wilde | Natalee Raymond | Sandra Douglas | Amy Louise Hewinson | Katy Yang | Isabelle Mathys | Sophia Mitke | Lydia Sewell | Masha Kheirkhan | Mikhail Nazarov | Vinny Murahwa | WhoFace | Steve Cascalheira | Amy Vitale | Serena Wolfkamp | Clare A Thompson | Julia Vale | Bryn Corkery | Gabrielle Gatt | Angela Amerigo | Sarah Yin | Ainslie Hinvest | Isabel Rust | Marina Pauliukova | Robert Looker | Kate Serebrianskaia | Jacqui Wilkinson | Delphine Pujol | Casey Knight | SKW | Raewyn Booth
