Welcome
Delivering the Best Art Show in 2019
Last year the Camberwell Art Show was an outstanding success and lived up to its reputation as Australia's largest and preeminent art event. Our planning for this our 54th year is directed on building on this success and eclipsing the 2018 result. We will provide a strong platform for artists to sell their works as well as an outstanding gallery experience for our 4000 guests over the ten day event.
The show moves one week forward in the 2019 calendar with the Gala Opening on Friday 28th June 2019. It is open to the public for the following 8 days - Sat 29th June to Sunday 7th July.
A record number of entries have been received from 775 artists from throughout Australia. From these entries our selection panel had the tough task of selecting 1320 paintings to be exhibited.
A focus on maintaining the highest quality of the exhibition in terms of display presentation and paintings exhibited will again underpin the event. This objective is aided by the magnificent venue - the steel and glass ATC Building which is generously provided by Swinburne University which is converted into 4 galleries to professionally display the works.

2019 Art Show Closed
Camberwell again cemented its position as the country's preeminent art show in 2019.
The show recorded record crowds and strong sales over its 10 days from June 28 to July 7. Patrons were praiseworthy of the professional display, the quality and diversity of the 1350 works from the cream of Australian artists.
The show commenced with a packed Friday Gala where patrons over gourmet finger food and good wine rushed to buy. The night culminated with the presentation of $40,000 in prizes including the $20,000 Best In Show.
Work will now commence by the Rotary Club of Camberwell planning for the 2020 Camberwell Art Show. Dates in late June / July will be announced soon. All money raised goes to our many local and international causes

2019 Best in Show
Warwick Fuller with his work "Ephemeral Light" has taken out the Herald Sun Award for Best in Show. Warwick picks up a $20,000 cheque in recognition of this outstanding achievement.
The major prize winners were presented at a packed Gala Opening on Friday evening. In total $40,000 was awarded to 14 artists this year for a broad range of categories.
The 3 judges spent 8 hours on the Thursday before opening reviewing the 1360 works and deliberating their decisions. Given the scale of the Camberwell Art Show and the quality on display, it was quite a task for the judges to arrive at a collective decision on the 14 works to receive the highest accolades.
