The Lester Prize 2020-21 Exhibition Season

The Lester Prize is one of the country's most prestigious fine art portrait prizes.

Our annual program includes: the Main Exhibition in AGWA's historic Centenary Galleries- Awards Nights for both Adult and Youth finalists- guided tours- floor talks- workshops and live demonstrations- outdoor art pop up events around the city- a Community Outdoor Art Exhibition at the Perth Cultural Centre- and digital exhibitions showcased on the Big Screen at the Perth Cultural Centre- Northbridge Piazza- Yagan Square and the City of Perth Library.

The Lester Prize also conducts workshops with Starlight Livewire at Perth Children's Hospital- aged care residents- and schools working towards making substantive and positive changes within their communities (with a particular focus on those who require additional support and have a high proportion of NESB and indigenous student populations). 

The Lester Inc is proud to provide Western Australia and the country with the opportunity to engage with the best of the artform in a format that puts both artists and community front-and-centre.
