WA Portrait Artists

​

WA portrait artists is an association of WA artists who include portraiture within their practice. Members all live in or have a connection to Western Australia and have been a finalist in a major national or international portraiture prize such as the Portia Geach, Doug Moran, Shirley Hannan and the Archibald, or have otherwise joined through juried membership.

 

Since its formation in 2012 our group has been a supportive network for the sharing of ideas, a proactive collective seeking out collaborative opportunities and ways in which our members' work can be promoted through exhibitions and community engagement.

 

Our exhibitions are a rare chance to see some of Australia’s finest portrait artists all come together to showcase the diversity of interpretation that make up the genre of portraiture. During the exhibitions, we hold workshops, demonstrations and artist talks.​
