Macquarie Group Collection

Macquarie Group Emerging Artist Prize

The Macquarie Group Collection has been supporting emerging Australian artists for more than 35 years, and the annual Emerging Artist Prize offers support to a new generation of visual artists.

Finalists' art will be displayed in the Emerging Artist Prize exhibition in The Art Space at 1 Elizabeth, Sydney. The exhibition will also be available for viewing online.

A selection of finalists’ art will be acquired by the Collection, with other works made available to the public for purchase; 100 per cent of proceeds goes directly to the artist.
