The 2025/26 R & M McGivern Prize for painting calls all artists from around Australia to address the theme of ATMOSPHERE.

$50,000 - two acquisitive prizes of $25,000 awarded to the most worthy original paintings

The atmosphere that surrounds us sustains and shapes our lives. For artists, the influence of atmospheres, both physical and emotional, on visual perception is fundamental

In Australia and around the world we are experiencing powerful impacts of climate change and shifting social, cultural and political atmospheres.

The R & M McGivern Prize and exhibition invites artists to respond to their notions of ‘atmosphere’ – from the momentary to the monumental.
