Public Programs

The Art Award Public Programs deliver a range of educational, informative and fun sessions leading up to and during the exhibition.

Workshops and Accessibility Tours are run during the exhibition period  to provide professional development opportunities for emerging artists, and to encourage greater appreciation of the works on display. 

The Exhibition

Held in The Glasshouse between Friday 12 September to Saturday 27 September, the free two-week exhibition provides an opportunity for the community to explore the artworks, engage with the community, and purchase a work of art of their own.

The Art Awards attract the interest of a broad cross section of the community including WA Artists, local residents, youth and arts patrons. 

Mentorship Award

The Mentorship Award sees an established, WA based professional artist provide mentorship to the Mentorship Award winner.

The Mentorship Award is designed to aid the creative, educational, and professional development of the award winner through feedback, advice and assistance from the Mentor.

Via the Art Awards application form, applicants can nominate themselves for consideration for the Mentorship Award.

The 2025 Mentor is Joanna Lamb.
Joanna Lamb was born in Perth, Western Australia. She graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) from Edith Cowan University and a Bachelor of Arts (Design) from Curtin University in 1997. Since her first solo show in 1997, she has maintained a regular exhibiting schedule traversing the practices of painting, printmaking, collage and sculpture.

Joanna’s hard-edged and highly refined compositions depict spaces of (sub)urbanity as an ongoing exploration of place. Stylistically, the works waver between realism and abstraction. Joanna’s work draws on her family connection with printing and a preoccupation with the processes involved in the reproduction of imagery. Her work has a mechanical feel which often negates its handmade processes.

Joanna Lamb’s works are included in prominent collections including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Parliament House, TarraWarra Museum of Art, Macquarie University, La Trobe University, Edith Cowan University, The University of Western Australia and Murdoch University.
