In 2022, we successfully obtained a Matched Funding grant from Creative Partnerships Australia (CPA). Donations made by The Lester Collective helped us to achieve our goal, which was matched by the CPA’s funding. With these funds, we will be building our capacity to take The Lester Prize to regional Western Australia. Find out more about The Lester Collective below.

We are on the hunt for a group of passionate volunteers to join our team for the 2021 Exhibition and Events Season. This is a unique experience to work on a major national arts event that showcases artists from across Australia.
Our mission is to deliver high quality exhibitions, events and programs for artists and the greater community, using visual arts to celebrate the practice of portraiture. Volunteers make this mission possible.
VOLUNTEERING AT THE LESTER PRIZE
We require dedicated, well-informed volunteers who enjoy interacting with the public and promoting the exhibition, the artists and the artworks with our community.
The Lester Prize volunteer program provides structured shifts for both weekday and weekend volunteer work, allowing individuals the opportunity to work in varying stages of the exhibition season in roles including gallery invigilation, opening nights and events.
Background in the Arts, history or education is encouraged, but not a pre-requisite. We will provide you with recognition, support, training, and information required to undertake your duties.

I have loved everything about my volunteering experience this year! It’s been absolutely amazing and enriching for me, and I hope to volunteer again soon.
It was such a pleasure assisting with the running of the Youth Awards Night... It was wonderful to meet and see the work of so many young and very talented artists. I’m so glad it went so smoothly and successfully.
