The Halloran Contemporary Art Prize is an acquisitive art prize that engages with and responds to the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum's Halloran Collection: Science & the Sea. In 2027, the theme 'Between Light and Reason' must be explored in a new work created for the art prize.
With a total prize pool of $27,000, including First Place (acquisitive), Runner-Up and People's Choice, the Halloran Art Prize continues to position itself as a significant regional art award, providing a platform for artists to engage with history through a contemporary lens, connecting enlightenment ideas with present-day concerns around perception, knowledge, power, and uncertainty.
