ENTRIES ARE NOW OPEN FOR THE NAKED & NUDE ART PRIZE 2023
Online entries only
Entry form here Naked & Nude Art Prize - Friends of the Gallery (friendsmanningvalley.com.au)
“Naked & Nude refers to two things: firstly the great tradition of the Nude: a person who is bare with no covering or decoration. Secondly, a wider definition: something that is revealed, laid bare, unmasked or vulnerable”.
The biennial Naked & Nude Art Prize (previously the Manning Art Prize: Naked & Nude) commenced in 1990 with entries open to Australian artists. The Art Prize is a partnership between Friends of the Manning Regional Art Gallery and the Manning Regional Art Gallery. After 29 years, the Naked & Nude Art Prize has become a prestigious national event on the Australian Arts Calendar and is open to artists in a variety of mediums. The lucrative event in 2017 carried a $21,000 prize pool, which has been increased to $31,000 for 2019 and now $32,000 for 2021. The winning entry is acquired by the Friends and donated to the Manning Regional Art Gallery’s permanent collection.
Without the generous gifts from all our supporters, the Friends of the Manning Regional Art Gallery could not present the Naked & Nude Art Prize to the community of the Mid North Coast. For more information and to enter, please go to the Friends of the Manning Regional Art Gallery Website, here
