John Stringer Prize 2023

The John Stringer Prize was inaugurated by The Collectors Club in 2015 in celebration of the memory of one of Australia’s most acclaimed art curators, the late John Stringer (1937–2007).

A long-term friend and mentor to its members, Stringer established The Collectors Club in Perth in 1996 to promote informed collecting and patronage of Western Australian contemporary art. Since 2018, the John Curtin Gallery has proudly presented the John Stringer Prize in partnership with The Collectors Club to continue this important legacy.

Each year, a panel of three leading arts professionals are invited by The Collectors Club to select six Western Australian-based contemporary artists whose practices they deem worthy of recognition. The six finalists commissioned to create new work for the 2023 John Stringer Prize are: Angelina Boona Karadada, Ilona McGuire, Amy Perejuan-Capone, Stewart Scambler and Corban Williams.
