The Brisbane Portrait Prize would not be possible without the generosity of our community. As a charity, we rely on donations to create this annual celebration of art.
Since launching in 2019 over $600,000 in prize money has been awarded to our talented artists. It has fast-tracked artists’ careers and shared the life experiences of both high-profile and the humble sitters.
