Enjoy a creative start to the new year with our new series of monthly Art Challenges. Taking inspiration from works in the AGNSW Collection, our challenges offer a great opportunity for artistic expression plus a chance to win a Faber-Castell art pack, courtesy of program sponsor Faber-Castell.

Savour the warm, sultry days of Summer, and illustrate a favourite summer holiday.

It may be a recent holiday or a memory of summers past. Family days at the beach or splashing in the pool? Exploring nature, relaxing with friends, or reading a good book?

Create an artwork which expresses the sights, sounds and smells of your Summer days.
