Discover new works by 10 leading Western Australian artists at the City of Joondalup’s 2026 Invitation Art Prize, on display at Joondalup Contemporary Art Gallery from 29 October to 12 December. Entry is free.
The annual exhibition brings together newly commissioned works spanning painting, photography, sculpture and installation by David Attwood, Amanda Bell, David Brazier, Christophe Canato, Jacky Cheng, Brett Leigh Dicks, Louise Malarvie, Amy Perejuan-Capone, Ash Tower and Ben Galmirr Ward.
See the winning artwork, Vdes II, by Perth artist Amy Perejuan-Capone, recipient of this year’s $25,000 acquisitive prize.
The striking installation features 144 handmade ceramic tiles, each holding a real bee encased in metal and resting in an impression made by the artist’s thumb. The work explores life, loss and our connection to the natural world, and will join the City’s permanent Art Collection.
