The Lester Prize Exhibition Regional Tour

The prestigious Lester Prize, one of Australia’s leading portraiture awards, is on tour exhibiting at the Cannery Arts Centre in Esperance this June. The exhibition features an extraordinary selection of 39 finalists works, providing insight into the depth and diversity of contemporary portraiture in Australia. Thanks to the generous support of the Mt Burdett Foundation, in collaboration with The Lester Prize, this exciting regional showcase brings nationally recognised portraiture directly to the people, making high-quality art accessible to the Esperance community and visitors alike – all with free entry.

In addition to the exhibition, visitors can engage in guided tours, artist talks, and workshops, fostering community connection through art.

The exhibition will run from 6 June to 20 July 2024 at the Cannery Arts Centre, with a rich public program designed to engage all ages, including an artist in residence facilitated through support from the Esperance Ag Fund, a fund of Fremantle Foundation.
