There are few subjects so universal in art as the human portrait. Whether you are a regular gallery-goer or brand new to exhibitions, the portrait has a universal connective quality with its audiences.
The Lester Prize in Western Australia keeps this ethos at its heart. One of Australia’s most illustrious and prestigious art prizes, The Lester Prize (formerly known as the Black Swan Prize for Portraiture) encourages submissions to explore the depths and reaches of identity as expressed through portraiture.
