National Robert Foster Metal Prize

Event

The National Robert Foster Metal Prize exhibition showcases outstanding contemporary metalwork, highlighting how imagination, skilled making, thoughtful design and material exploration can shape the ways we see and engage with the world around us. 

In the spirit of Dissent, the Prize celebrates artists and makers who bring individual perspectives to the medium. Featuring the work of 15 finalists from across Australia, the exhibition reflects the ways artists continue to question, reinterpret and evolve the possibilities of metal as a contemporary practice. 

The National Robert Foster Metal Prize exhibition is presented in partnership by Craft + Design Canberra and F!nk + Co Director Gretel Harrison, with thanks to the Tall Foundation.
