2026 Mandorla Art Award Exhibition
Description
Exhibition open 9 - 30 May 2026.
Mandorla is a contemporary fine art award. In conversation with a biblical text, Mandorla invites artists to contribute to the cultural life of Australia.
Open to all artists across Australia and held every two years in Perth, Western Australia, the Mandorla Art Award is Australia’s most significant thematic Christian art prize and continues to attract some of our country’s most accomplished artists.
For this award year, artists had the opportunity to respond to the theme of What is Truth? “I was afraid, because I was naked: and I hid myself” – Genesis 3:10.
We are excited to showcase more than 40 works that have been selected by our expert panel of judges from a record number of entries. Discover 'What is Truth?' as told through the paintbrushes, hands and digital creations of Australia's artists.
