ARTISTS in Greater Bendigo are invited to enter the 2025 Living Arts Space Small Portrait Prize, which has been billed as a new opportunity to celebrate people from the region and tell their story through portraiture.<\/p>\n

As part of the criteria, portraits are welcome in any two-dimensional medium, strictly between A5 and A3.<\/p>\n

The artwork also must be of a person (animals and pets may feature) and works on paper, canvas will be accepted, as well as photographic materials used in collages.<\/p>\n

COGB visitor services lead Liam Daniels said the region is lucky enough to be home to a large cohort of creatives who either enjoy their art as a hobby or work professionally in the field, and he expects to see a lot of interest from artists.<\/p>\n

“This initiative will complement the exclusive international exhibition Frida Kahlo: In Her Own Image at Bendigo Art Gallery as the Mexican icon was famous for her extraordinary portraits,” he said.<\/p>\n

“For this new prize, it will be exciting to see a wide range of portraits inspired by people from all walks of life in the community.<\/p>\n

“All entries will be assessed, and a list of finalists will be selected by a curator from Bendigo Art Gallery. Finalists will be displayed in the Living Arts Space for the duration of the Frida Kahlo exhibition.”<\/p>\n

Submissions open on Monday 17 March and close at 4pm on Saturday 29 March.<\/p>\n

Finalists will be notified by Friday 11 April and the exhibition opening celebration and awards announcement is due to be held on Saturday 3 May.<\/p>\n
