Creators Mark Art Prize and Exhibition
Where: Gerringong Town Hall
When: September 12 - 14, 2025
After a hugely successful inaugural event, Creator’s Mark Art Prize and Exhibition returns in 2025, and I'm so happy to be part of it all again.
This year, we invite artists to explore the theme "Wide Open Spaces" – a celebration of the natural world's vast beauty and the inner landscapes of peace, freedom, creativity, and purpose.
We encourage artists to consider what spaciousness looks like and means to them, inviting submissions in paint, pencil, and mixed media (on canvas and in sculpture). We are particularly interested in works that capture the grandeur of nature as well as spaciousness of soul and spirit.
Artists of all experience levels are warmly invited to participate.

Proceeds raised will support Illawarra Community Care’s work in local communities, fostering creativity, connection, and well-being through the arts. Together, we are committed to celebrating artistic expression as a vital part of community life.
Join us as we embrace the beauty of “Wide Open Spaces” and the inspiration they bring—both within and around us!
