Share
After the success of its debut exhibition in 2017, Fairholme College is once again opening its doors to artists far and wide with the return of FACETS – the Fairholme Open Art Prize.
Now in its eighth year, FACETS has become a highly anticipated event on the cultural calendar, showcasing a curated collection of two- and three-dimensional artworks. From painting, sculpture and drawing, to digital art, video and photography, this boutique exhibition offers artists a unique platform to connect with audiences through creativity and conversation.

The exhibition embraces a diverse selection of works from emerging and established artists across Australia and beyond, with up to 200 pieces carefully selected and professionally presented by Fairholme’s Curatorial Team.
