Presented by Palliative Care Australia and Arcare.
Art has the power to help us understand life’s most profound experiences.
Life and death are deeply personal, yet universal experiences — and art has a unique way of helping us connect, reflect, and begin the conversations that matter most.
The Live Well, Die Well Art Prize, presented by Palliative Care Australia and Arcare, invites artists of all ages and abilities to share their creative vision on the theme, ‘conversations about end-of-life’.
From quiet reflections to bold expressions, we’re looking for works that move people — that help us see the beauty in life, the tenderness in loss, and the power of storytelling through visual art.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional, a student just starting out, or someone with a story to share, we invite you to be part of this national dialogue.
Entries are NOW OPEN across multiple categories. Submit your work and be part of the conversation.
Be inspired and view the gallery of past winners and entries.
