The Armidale Art Prize is our most eagerly-anticipated exhibition, a highlight of the local arts calendar since 2009. This prestigious event showcases outstanding talent from both emerging and established artists, drawing visitors and art lovers from near and far.
In 2025, the exhibition will run from Saturday 5 April, to Saturday 17 May. We warmly invite you to join us for the grand opening on Saturday, 5 April, at 4 pm. Bubbles and nibbles will of course be on offer, setting an appropriately celebratory tone for the occasion.
With a reputation for excellence and all kinds of creativity, the AAP is a must-see event, offering a spectacular display of artistic expression across multiple categories.
Artists bring their recent works to compete for a range of prizes, including awards for Painting, Photography, Sculpture/Craft Art, Works on Paper (Daphne Young Prize), the David Davies Impressionist Painting Prize, and the much-loved People’s Choice Award. Whether you’re an art enthusiast looking for inspiration, a collector seeking a special piece, or a supporter of local and regional talent, the AAP is the perfect place to explore, enjoy and invest in exceptional artwork. Artists, it’s time to get busy, as entries open soon, and we can’t wait to see what you create!
