This exhibition brings together the exceptional talents of the Cossack Art Awards winners, works created through the Cossack Art Awards Artist in Residence program, and selected pieces from the broader Cossack Art Awards program.
The Cossack Art Awards, presented by the City of Karratha with Principal Partner Rio Tinto, is one of Australia’s most unique and long-running art prizes, attracting artists from across the nation. While national in scope, it holds a special place in the Pilbara, where it is celebrated as a cornerstone of the region’s cultural life. Each year, the winning artists are recognised for their outstanding work and contribution to Australia’s vibrant artistic landscape, with a strong connection to the Pilbara’s stories and environment.
The Cossack Art Awards Artist in Residence program complements the Awards, offering an artist the opportunity to immerse themself in the historic township of Cossack, responding to its unique landscapes, layered histories, and dynamic community. Together with a curated selection from the wider Awards program, this exhibition reveals a rich diversity of artistic voices inspired by this remarkable location.
Collectively, these works form a dialogue between national recognition and regional inspiration, celebrating both achievement and the creative journeys that continue to shape the Pilbara’s cultural identity.
