The Brisbane Portrait Prize Finalists exhibition run at the Brisbane Powerhouse from September 29 to October 30.
The exhibition will showcase the 60 artists who were selected as Finalists including 56 entrants from the main competition and 4 from the Next Gen Competition. We’d love for you to join us for this celebration of art, Brisbane artists and the characters who make our city, what it is.

Hollows and Thorns is a unique cross-disciplinary project that involves exhibition and collaborative skill development at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre. It builds on Sharka Bosakova’s UnMasked project which explores the landscape of our own bodies in an immersive environment open to dialogue, collaboration, and interaction through movement, sound, emotional and cultural experience. The artist on site in a performative interactive context constantly develops the exhibition environment and provides local artists and public with a platform and expressive voice. The project aims to strip away the façade of selfhood.
