2023 Sunshine Coast Art Prize Exhibition Now Open

The 2023 Sunshine Coast Art Prize exhibition is now open. Works from 40 leading Australian artists, showcasing the very latest contemporary art the nation has to offer are available to view at the Caloundra Regional Gallery.

The artworks offer a diverse portrayal of subjects in a range of styles, from traditional oils and acrylics to new media and digital compositions, that together, confront, celebrate, enlighten and engage. See the finalists here and vote for your favourite. 

Several members of Argon Law attended the exclusive Vernissage along with valued guests and business partners and were very impressed. We encourage you to visit the Gallery to view the exhibition which is on display until Sunday 15 October. The Winner's Announcement will take place on Thursday 5 October.

Argon Law director John Gallagher said, "This is our 5th year as Major Sponsor, alongside the Sunshine Coast Council, of the Sunshine Coast Art Prize. We see it as a great privilege to be involved with this wonderful event and to support and promote the visual arts in this region."

"Sunshine Coast Art Prize is always the highlight of our year at Argon Law. We are celebrating 10 years in business this year, so the exhibition has been a big part of our history. It has always been an Argon Law guiding principle to give back to the community and what better way to do that than to sponsor the major prize."

"We recognise the importance of the arts in a healthy and successful society and economy. The arts as an industry is, by itself, an important part of our economy, but the creativity which the arts inspire is an essential part of our survival and success in all other facets of our economy. We are incredibly lucky to be living in this community and to have thriving and passionate arts and business communities. "
