Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize

The Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize is the highest value art prize for women in Australia and provides a unique platform to engage, connect, support and profile women artists across Australia and internationally. The Prize also showcases a commitment to celebrating emerging Indigenous women artists and promoting their creative talents on a national stage.

Launched in 2017, the Art Prize has grown exponentially and gained significant recognition. The 2025 Art Prize received 1934 entries across the three categories (Professional, Emerging and Indigenous Emerging) representing artists from every state and territory of Australia. The Art Prize Opening Night in Gordon, Sydney is further supported with a three-week Exhibition of Finalists and a virtual Exhibition tour online to encourage visitation and artwork sales.

Supporting the arts inspires and strengthens communities socially, educationally, and economically – fostering creativity, empathy and beauty. Established by Ravenswood School for Girls to advance art and opportunity for women artists in Australia, the Art Prize is an annual acquisitive prize, with total prize money of $58,000.

The Art Prize is supported by generous partners Trippas White Group, The Marshall Group, R.M Williams Outback, Active Networks, The Australian, Guardian and Scarborough Foundation, The Reed Family Foundation, Clarke Murphy Print, Lindfield & Districts Community Bank, Ku-ring-gai Council, Kelvin Hall Floral Design, EPM Projects, Derivan, The Art Scene and Edwina Palmer.
