We're proud to showcase 18 invited artists: our 2026 Feature and Guest Artists, alongside the 2025 PADU Award Winners.

Spirit of the Landscape celebrates the vast landscapes of rural, regional and remote Australia, with an international twist. Plein air artists paint with a deep respect for land, environment and community — capturing a moment in real time through natural light, colour and movement, and telling the stories that rise out of place.

While you are there, cast your vote for the People's Choice Award, presented by Community Bank Halls Head. 

BONUS: Running alongside, the Twelve Perspectives Exhibition features 36 landscape paintings by 12 Mandurah Plein Air Artists, opening the same day and running through to 23 September.

Exhibition opening hours, 6 Sept – 11 Oct:
Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm (public holiday Mon 28 Sep: 12:30–5pm)
