The Waverley Art Prize celebrates excellence across the local arts community and greater Australian contemporary Visual Arts sector. Commencing in 1986, the Waverley Art Prize has a long history as a dedicated painting and drawing prize, cultivating and supporting local artists. The Prize has an illustrious alumnus of previous winners including Janet Lawrence, Wendy Sharpe, John Bokor, Tonee Messiah, Carolyn Craig and Bronte Leighton-Dore.

We welcome you to join us in celebrating the 39th Waverley Art Prize with the announcement of the $15,000 Open Prize winner and launch of the finalist exhibition in Bondi Pavilion Gallery.
