Join us for a floor talk with Rebecca Owens, MPRG Curator & member of this year's National Works on Paper judging panel.

Offering unique insight into the selection & judging process, this guided tour will explore some of the standout works in the exhibition & unpack the ideas, materials & approaches that captured the attention of the judges.

Discover the remarkable breadth of contemporary paper-based practice represented in this year's Prize & gain a deeper understanding of what makes particular works resonate, challenge expectations & distinguish themselves within a field of exceptional entries.

This is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand about the stories behind the exhibition, the curatorial considerations that shaped its presentation & the qualities that elevate a work from submission to finalist.

Bookings recommended.
