    Art Award Overall Winner Cole Baxter 2023

    The 48th annual Melville Art Awards exhibition was held at Wireless Hill Museum located in beautiful Yagan Mia Wireless Hill Park. 

    Melville Art Awards exhibits works by established and emerging West Australian artists, including local talent living in the City of Melville. Artworks are for sale throughout the exhibition, with no commission taken, and it is an excellent opportunity to purchase works and support the artists.

    The Melville Art Awards have a long history of featuring a spectacular display of creativity from across Western Australia, proudly placing art and community centre stage.

    Entries for Melville Art Awards 2025 will open in August, 2025. This is a selective process and entries will be assessed, and artists advised if they are finalists.
