The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder’s prestigious regional art exhibition

12 September to 16 October 2026

The annual Art Prize is an acquisitive visual arts exhibition, displaying work from multiple media. The artwork on display is created by local Kalgoorlie-Boulder artists as well as artists from across the Goldfields and Australia.

Kalgoorlie-Boulder has a growing reputation for being a hub for regional arts and culture, influenced by a rich industrial heritage and diverse community. The Art Prize provides an opportunity to celebrate this artistic vibrancy and creativity within the local community and beyond.  

Since its inception, the City has made significant improvements to the annual Art Prize, including an increased prize pool, skill-building initiatives, and a focus on producing a contemporary exhibition which attracts artwork submissions Australia wide.

As a result of these changes, the Art Prize has seen much success over the years, with over 300 people attending the awards evening, and almost 2,000 people visiting the exhibition every year
