National Works On Paper 2026
For more than fifty years the National Works on Paper (NWOP) has presented a survey of contemporary art and celebrated the medium of paper in all its forms. NWOP is one of the leading art awards and exhibitions in the country, attracting Australia’s foremost contemporary artists working with paper. Through this nationally significant award, MPRG has proudly acquired 14 winning works, a further 91 through its precursor, the Spring Festival of Drawing and many more purchased for the Gallery by the Friends of MPRG—building one of Australia’s most significant collections of works on paper.
