Congratulations to Billy Tjampitjinpa Kenda on being shortlisted for the 2026 NATSIAA at MAGNT!

From remote art centres to inner-city studios, more than 60 incredible artists have been named as finalists in the 2026 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (Telstra NATSIAA), Australia’s longest running and most prestigious art award.

The 64 compelling works, selected from 221 entries, reflect themes of intergenerational storytelling, the continuation of cultures, connections to Country and the enduring impacts of Australia’s colonial history on individuals and communities.

Presented by MAGNT in partnership with Telstra, the awards remain a vital platform for nurturing and celebrating Indigenous artists, providing a national and international stage to showcase their work.
Finalist works will be on display as part of the 2026 Telstra NATSIAA exhibition opening on Larrakia Country on 27 June. The Awards Ceremony will be held on the MAGNT lawns on 7 August.
A full list of the artists is available on the MAGNT website

Congratulations Adrian Jangala Robertson for being a finalist in all three Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes at the Art Gallery of New South Wales . And congratulations to all the other finalists-what a show!

Slide 1: Archibald Prize
'Dylan River'
synthetic polymer paint on canvas, 61 x 61 cm

Adrian Jangala Robertson is Warlpiri, from the Central Desert, and lives in Mparntwe/Alice Springs. His subject, Dylan River, is Kaytetye, an acclaimed film director, writer and cinematographer from Mparntwe.

Both artists share a deep connection to Country, family and history, with work grounded in a strong sense of home. Growing up in Papunya, Robertson witnessed the beginnings of the Western Desert painting movement.
This is his third consecutive year as an Archibald finalist, and he is proud to again portray a celebrated First Nations creative from Central Australia.
Thank you to Dylan River () for sharing this special moment with Adrian in the studio.

'Julie and Adrian at Yalpirakinu'
synthetic polymer paint on canvas, 122 x 62 cm
