This will be the 41st year that the Radford Art Show has celebrated the work of local and regional artists, as well as student art. 

Kacy Grainger, founder of Grainger Gallery is our guest judge this year. Kacy owns the prominent art space that is located in the revitalised Dairy Road Precinct of Fyshwick. Established in early 2020, Grainger Gallery showcases a diverse range of artworks from both nationally renowned and emerging artists. The gallery is dedicated to fostering a personal connection between patrons and artists, emphasizing the importance of art as an expression of identity and a meaningful addition to one's life. As an accomplished artist herself with a son who has also pursued a career as an artist, Kacy is dedicated to nurturing the local art scene and young emerging artists. This personal approach to gallery management have made Grainger Gallery a significant cultural institution in Canberra. 

Kacy will present the judge awards to artists at the Gala Opening. The prizes include: First Prize $2000, Second Prize $1000, Emerging Artist $500.
