Sydney's Eco-Art Prize
Celebrating the GreenWay
through Eco-Art
An open invitation for artists to engage with Sydney's living urban corridor and the communities along it.
What is the GreenWay Art Prize?
GreenWay Art Prize is an eco-art prize celebrating the GreenWay, an urban transport corridor that cuts through Sydney's inner west.
The prize invites artists to engage with this green urban landscape and the communities living and moving along it. GreenWay Art Prize connects creative practice with place: the trails, the canopy, the waterways, the neighbourhoods.
GreenWay Art Prize takes place over three days, 20 to 22 September 2024, bringing artists, local residents, and nature into a shared conversation about what this corridor means and what it could become.
Art rooted in place
The GreenWay is a 7 km corridor connecting Rozelle to Tempe, threading through parks, under freeways, past wetlands and over ridges. GreenWay Art Prize treats this corridor as both subject and site: artists are invited to respond to its ecology, its history, and its daily life.
GreenWay Art Prize is shaped by the belief that art can deepen the way a community sees its own landscape. Participating artists bring new perspectives to a familiar route, turning an everyday walk or cycle into something noticed, felt, and shared.
The prize is open to artists working across all disciplines: painting, drawing, photography, textile, installation, ceramics, and beyond. Work does not need to be made on the GreenWay, but it must be genuinely in conversation with it.

Creative Practice

Place
