VAS George Hicks Foundation Contemporary Exhibition 2026
11 Feb 2026 – 22 Feb 2026
Discover a fresh perspective on art at the VAS George Hicks Foundation Contemporary Exhibition.
This annual highlight challenges VAS artists to reimagine classic subjects and techniques through a contemporary lens, blending time honoured practices with modern creativity. Experience works that honour the past while embracing the present in this dynamic celebration of artistic evolution. Whether through innovative composition, subject matter or technique, each piece reflects a thoughtful dialogue between tradition and today.
This exhibition is generously sponsored by the George Hicks Foundation with a total prize pool of $7,500.
