A Note to Artists: The Kenilworth Art Award, our major prize , is  a prestigious Art  Award on the Sunshine Coast.  Kenilworth Arts Council  encourages and supports both established and emerging artists. Some artists have told us they feel they are “not good enough” to enter for the big prize. We say, “Have a go in 2025 !  Be bold! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!” We’re here to support you!
