M16 Artspace

The M16 Artspace Drawing Prize is a non-acquisitive annual exhibition which offers over $15,000 in prizes. In 2022, over 350 entries were recorded and the winners were selected by Sarina Noordhuis Fairfax, Curator, NGA and Megan Monte, Director, Ngungulla.

The Drawing Prize has been a staple in M16 Artspace’s exhibition calendar since 2006. It attracts hundreds of entries from across Australia and internationally.

The M16 Drawing Prize is for drawing in either traditional drawing media and techniques, or non-traditional works that extend understanding of what drawing may be within contemporary art practice.
