About the Prize
The Heysen Prize was established in 1997 to commemorate Sir Hans Heysen (1877 – 1968) and his unparalleled artistic contribution to the Adelaide Hills region and to the tradition of Australian landscape art.
Originally a prize for landscape art, the Heysen Prize has, in recent years, extended its scope to recognize interpretation of place, exploring the depth and range of artists’ connections to their natural and urban environments.
