ART ON THE PIER

The Queenscliff Art Prize was launched in November 2020 and since that time, this unique event has grown to become the biggest outdoor art & photography exhibition in Australia. Each year our unique exhibitions take place on some of the historic wooden piers in Port Phillip Bay and these exciting events, each of five months duration attract many thousands of visitors. The Queenscliff Art Prize exhibition experience is greatly enhanced by its unique environment as the art & photographic works are all dramatically framed by the ever changing natural backdrop of Port Phillip Bay. The Queenscliff Art Prize is an innovative & truly exciting annual event that has proved to be very for enjoyable for visitors and importantly very successful for the many artists & photographers that participate each year.
