The Radford College Parents & Friends Committee are thrilled to announce that tickets are now on sale for the Gala Opening Night of the 2026 Artshow@Radford. 

Please join us as we celebrate these amazing works and the many artists who will exhibit works in a wide range of media: oils, watercolours, digital media, photography, sculpture, ceramics, woodwork and more. These pieces will be for sale.

This will be the 42nd 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. Grainger Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Canberra’s exciting, gentrifying industrial suburb Fyshwick. Founded by Kacy and Richard Grainger, the gallery was born from a deep love of art and a desire to create a supportive, artist-led space where creativity and connection come first. We represent an incredible range of artists, from some of Australia’s most established names to the bold new voices just emerging on the scene.

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

The People’s Choice Awards are awarded at the conclusion of the exhibition.
