2026 Advocate Art Award

The Advocate Art Award returns for 2026! 

Coordinated and presented by the Central Australian Art Society (CAAS), a volunteer-run organisation in Alice Springs that has supported art and artists since 1963, the Advocate Art Award is their gala annual event, offering a number of significant prizes thanks to the generous sponsorship of local businesses, including the major non-acquisitive Chapman & Bailey Excellence Prize of $2500.

With no pre-selection process, the Advocate Art Award is an all-inclusive exhibition, much-loved by the Alice Springs community, bringing together works by artists new, emerging and established, working across any medium.

Entries are now open for the 2026 Advocate Art Award, for more information visit www.caasinc.org.
