2025 ENTRIES NOW CLOSED
The Henry Jones Art Prize is a key initiative by The Henry Jones Art Hotel to support and promote Tasmania’s emerging, contemporary artists. With a prize pool totalling over $40,000, the prize is divided into two major categories—Painting and Mixed Media—each awarding $20,000 to the winners.
The hotel, known for its dedication and passion to support Tasmanian artists, houses almost 500 evolving works from both emerging and established Tasmanian artist as a working gallery. The Henry Jones Art Prize not only provides substantial financial recognition but also offers a platform for artists to launch and develop their careers.
The 2025 winners will be announced at a gala event on 19 November, and the public exhibition of finalists will be displayed from 21 November – 4 December in The Packing Room and Atrium at The Henry Jones Art Hotel.
Visitors to the exhibition can engage directly by purchasing artworks and voting for their favourite pieces for the People’s Choice Award, sponsored by Artery Hobart. The artist whose work receives the most votes will be awarded $1,000. Additionally, the Packing Room Prize, selected by the hanging team, will grant one artist $750.
