About Footscray Art Prize

The Footscray Art Prize is a biennial visual art prize for contemporary artworks across multiple platforms and disciplines.

Established in 2016, it contributes to Footscray's reputation as a thriving cultural hub that supports and fosters the arts, and provides an opportunity to celebrate this artistic vibrancy and creativity.

It is open for entries nationally and does not have a theme.

To recognise the impact of COVID-19 on visual artists, Footscray Art Prize is doubling the prize money so there’s $20,000 up for grabs this year!
