About the Wynne Prize

The $50,000 Wynne Prize is judged by the trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and is awarded to the best landscape painting of Australian scenery or the best example of figure sculpture by an Australian artist.

The Wynne Prize is Australia’s oldest art prize. It was established following a bequest by Richard Wynne and was first awarded in 1897 to mark the official opening of the Art Gallery of New South Wales at its present site. The Wynne Prize reflects the diversity of figurative sculptural practice, while the paintings are a dynamic reflection of Australian artists’ response to the land, reflecting contemporary aesthetics, environmental and stewardship concerns, and conceptions of Country.

Following exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, the Wynne Prize is touring regional NSW and BRAG is pleased to bring this celebrated showcase of Australian art to the Bathurst community.

Wynne Prize 2024 is an Art Gallery of New South Wales touring exhibition. This project is proudly supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW’s Blockbusters Funding initiative.
