Girra: Fraser Coast National Art Prize

Drawing its name from the Butchulla word for sand, Girra: Fraser Coast National Art Prize is a new initiative of Hervey Bay Regional Gallery that brings cutting-edge artworks from across Australia to the Fraser Coast. Boasting a $25,000 first prize, Girra will feature artworks that demonstrate a conceptual engagement with the intersection of people, place and the environment, offering insight into our reciprocal and inextricable relationship with the environment.

The inaugural Girra: Fraser Coast National Art Prize will be judged by renowned Badtjala artist Dr. Fiona Foley and Senior Curator of UQ Art Museum Peta Rake.
