The inaugural Hill Painting Prize is a celebration of the natural landscapes, urban spaces and manmade environments of the Blue Mountains, captured through the medium of painting.

The exhibition is a collection of 66 unique paintings that connect audiences to the iconic views, romanticised scenes and realistic depictions unique to the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.

This new painting prize is benefactor David R Hill’s tribute to the medium and process of painting.
