Welcome to ArtQuest 2023 - hosted by Exmouth Cultural Arts Centre
ArtQuest is our prestigious annual arts event held in the top class exhibition space of the Tantabiddi Travelling Gallery at The Ningaloo Aquarium & Discovery Centre in Exmouth. We invite both local artists and artists from further afield to submit a variety of artworks to be displayed for sale.
The main exhibition is open exclusively to artists aged 18-years and older, but it is also extremely important to us to encourage the next generation of artists so we are proud to exhibit a youth exhibition for artists aged 6 to 17-years-old alongside the main exhibition.
Opening Night is a sociable and fun celebration on the Exmouth Arts Calendar to which everyone is invited, with live performance acts, a bar and finger food served. The competition prizes are presented on this special night and we actively encourage our young artists to experience and participate in this occasion.
Follow us on Facebook @artquest2023 for up to date information.
