Excitement is building for the River of Art Prize 2026. We are delighted to announce that this year’s Prize exhibition will be presented in the stunning new Narooma Arts Centre – marking a significant moment for artists, community and audiences on the NSW South Coast.

Artists and makers from across Australia – both within and beyond the Eurobodalla region – are invited to enter the annual River of Art Prize, a highlight of Eurobodalla’s unique regional arts festival, which celebrates its 22nd anniversary in 2026.

Selected finalist works will be exhibited in the newly opened Narooma Arts Centre (formerly Narooma Gallery), offering artists a prominent platform to showcase their work across all mediums – including painting, watercolour, mixed media, drawing, sculpture and photography. With no prescribed theme, the Prize welcomes work of any subject or style, encouraging bold, diverse and original creative expression.

Art Prize entries will open in June continuing through early August with finalists advised end August. 

Follow the journey of the Narooma Arts Centre as this exciting new cultural space comes to life.
