the churchie emerging art prize

This year marks the 37th anniversary of the churchie emerging art prize—Australia’s longest-running prize for emerging artists. Through a new partnership aimed at further enhancing the prize’s reputation, the 2024 exhibition will be held at Metro Arts in West End.

‘As a stalwart in Australia’s art landscape for many years, initiatives such as “the churchie” play a crucial role in championing emerging artists, providing opportunities for emerging artists to be showcased and appreciated,’ said Genevieve Trace, Executive Director at Metro Arts.

Mark your calendars for this unmissable exhibition, as Metro Arts transforms into a vibrant showcase of Australia’s emerging artistic talent.
