2025 Artshow@Radford

The Radford College Parents & Friends (P&F) Committee are thrilled to announce that tickets are now on sale for the Gala Opening Night of the 2025 Artshow@Radford.

Please join us as we celebrate the many artists who will exhibit works in a wide range of media: oils, watercolours, digital media, photography, sculpture, ceramics, woodwork and more. These pieces will be for sale.

This will be the 41st year that the Radford Art Show has celebrated the work of local and regional artists, as well as student art.

Kacy Grainger, founder of Grainger Gallery is our guest judge this year. Kacy owns the prominent art space that is located in the revitalised Dairy Road Precinct of Fyshwick. Established in early 2020, Grainger Gallery showcases a diverse range of artworks from both nationally renowned and emerging artists. The gallery is dedicated to fostering a personal connection between patrons and artists, emphasising the importance of art as an expression of identity and a meaningful addition to one's life. As an accomplished artist herself with a son who has also pursued a career as an artist, Kacy is dedicated to nurturing the local art scene and young emerging artists. This personal approach to gallery management have made Grainger Gallery a significant cultural institution in Canberra.

Kacy will present the judge awards at the Gala Opening including first prize ($2000), second prize ($1000) and emerging artist ($500). The People’s Choice Awards are awarded at the conclusion of the exhibition.

Tickets: $20 per person which includes drinks and canapés. Tickets for children aged 10+ are $5.
