Mandorla is a contemporary fine art award. In conversation with a biblical text, Mandorla invites artists to contribute to the cultural life of Australia. Open to all artists across Australia and held every two years in Perth, Western Australia, the Mandorla Art Award is Australia’s most significant thematic Christian art prize and continues to attract some of our country’s most accomplished artists.
For this award year, artists had the opportunity to respond to the theme: What is Truth? “I was afraid, because I was naked: and I hid myself” – Genesis 3:10.
This year’s exhibition will showcase more than 40 works that have been selected by an expert panel of judges from a record number of entries. These works embrace a wide range of artistic mediums, including painting, digital art and sculpture.
