Expressions of Interest are now open for the 2026 Three Faces Portrait Prize!

Are you an artist over 18 years old living in Mansfield and surrounds? We invite creatives working in any medium — painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, mixed media and more — to submit an Expression of Interest.

Three finalist artists will be selected to create a portrait of a recognised Mansfield district identity and will culminate in two major public events at the Delatite Hotel:

The Reveal
Thursday 3 September 2026
An evening introducing the three selected artists and the ‘mystery’ sitter.

The Unveiling
Thursday 15 October 2026
A celebratory dinner event where the completed portraits will be formally unveiled and the winner announced.

$2,000 Acquisitive Prize is sponsored by Mansfield Shire Council and the two runner-ups receive $250 sponsored by Arts Mansfield.

The winning artwork will become part of the Mansfield Shire Council's permanent Three Faces collection.

EOIs close 15 August 2026.

This National Volunteer Week, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the volunteers who make Arts Mansfield possible.

Our committee members give their time, energy, creativity and care throughout the year — all on a volunteer basis — helping to nurture arts and culture across our community.

We also want to thank the many volunteers who assist with exhibitions, events, workshops, installations, opening nights and behind-the-scenes tasks. Your support, enthusiasm and willingness to lend a hand are truly appreciated.

Arts Mansfield simply could not do what we do without you. Thank you for helping create a vibrant, welcoming and creative community for everyone.
