Ramsay Art Prize 2025 (Free)


  • Art Gallery of South Australia (map)

The Ramsay Art Prize 2025 continues to support contemporary Australian artists under 40 to make their best work, unrestrained in scale and medium.

Supported in perpetuity by the James & Diana Ramsay Foundation, finalist works are selected by an eminent panel of judges and shown in this major exhibition.

In 2025, the panel of experts is comprised of leading Australian artist Michael Zavros; Associate Professor and Program Director of Visual Art at the Queensland College of Art and Design and inaugural winner of the Ramsay’s People’s Choice Prize, Julie Fragar; and Emma Fey, Acting Director of the Art Gallery of South Australia.

The winning work is judged from the exhibition and is acquired into the Gallery’s collection, with the winning artist receiving $100,000, thanks to the generosity of the James & Diana Ramsay Foundation.

The Exhibition also includes a People’s Choice Prize worth $15,000, supported by sponsor LK, and decided by public vote.
