In addition to winning the $20,000 prize, their work will be acquired by The Shepparton Art Museum (SAM).
The 2016 judges: Tom Mosby, CEO, Koorie Heritage Trust Inc; Kimberley Moulton, senior curator South Eastern Australian Collections, Melbourne Museum; and Dr Rebecca Coates, director, SAM, commented, “The winning work was selected for its ambition, extension of their practice, the way it extends the medium of ceramics and importantly for the cultural story it presents.”
The seven shortlisted artists and collectives each received a development fee to help them produce a substantial body of work for the award exhibition.
All of the finalist’s works are on show in the Indigenous Ceramic Art Award Exhibition.

A new exhibition at Bendigo Art Gallery takes us deeper into the life of the often-mythologised artist Frida Kahlo, through her personal photographs, clothing and objects, borrowed from Casa Azul, Kahlo’s house museum in Mexico.
Using a hand coil pinch technique, the pots created by the Hermannsburg Potters of Western Arrarnta in Central Australia illustrate the lived histories of the artists and their surrounding Country. Their latest creations are now showing at Bett Gallery in Hobart.
In his latest exhibition, now showing at Bett Gallery, Postmodern painter and writer Imants Tillers is influenced by a variety of sources including the metaphysical style of Italian artist Georgio de Chirico.
When times are hard, we often turn to art to remind ourselves that beauty and hope persist. An exhibition at Murray Art Museum Albury brings together nine artists from varied disciplines to examine how art can be used as an agent for good.
Congratulations to Aisha Sherman-Noth, who has won the 2025 Glover Prize for Weeping birches on the avenue. The Tasmanian-based artist wins $80,000 for the painting, which depicts weeping birch and poplar trees along the Brooker Highway into Hobart.
