The Percivals

The Percivals is North Queensland’s own biennial portrait competition.

Having begun in 2007, The Percivals is an open competition for artists. While showcasing the outstanding and innovative work being produced by Australian artists, the competition has also given many emerging artists, Australia-wide and internationally, an opportunity to engage with portraiture and share their expressions of themselves and those close to them.
