2026 Western Downs Regional Artists’ Exhibition: Ritual & Revelry

The theme ‘Ritual and Revelry‘ invites artists to celebrate the duality of the human experience and bring together these two contrasting forces that coexist in everyday life. From the ordered and the wild, the everyday rhythms and the liberating moments, artists that live and/or work on the Western Downs can explore this human experience in their medium of choice.

In 2026, the exhibition offers a total prize pool of $3800, with four Category Prizes, Young Artist Merit Award, and People’s Choice Award. The exhibition will feature on Western Downs Arts as a Gallery and 3D virtual exhibition, and on show from 5 September to 28 October at Gallery 107 Dalby.
