In 1972, the Whyalla Art Prize was established by the Whyalla Arts Council. Originally designed to promote regional emerging artists, the prize has flourished and developed into a significant award and is seen as an important exhibition of contemporary arts in Australia.
Discovering new talents, invigorating artistic passions while supporting our national artists has seen the Whyalla community acquire an impressive and notable collection of artworks in iconic styles that reflect the spirit and the changing face of Australia.
The Whyalla Art Prize and the OneSteel SA Youth Awards represent a major commitment by the region in bringing contemporary visual arts practice to Whyalla.
Whyalla is one of the largest regional centres in South Australia. With a proud industrial history, its community enjoys its unique location, a place where the Outback meets the Sea.
