Eloquence Prize 2023

Two abstract shapes

A prize for art history thinkers from across Australia, supported by the Power Institute through its "Powered by Power" initiative.

The Eloquence Art Prize is a national challenge for university and Art School students across all Australia. It rewards the best 10-minute Art talk on French and Australian ties on a specific theme, different each year.

The 2023 theme is "Art and Environment, France and Australia": Over the centuries, many intellectual movements have reflected on human impact or interactions with nature. Students are asked to analyse how environmental concerns or sensibilities have influenced the works of two artists, one French, one Australian.
