Exploring the natural world through artistic creativity

The 2013 Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize has now closed. Entrants will be notified of the outcome of their entries in mid-June.

The Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize is a unique opportunity for talented artists to immerse themselves in the wonders of science. It challenges them to use skills in their chosen media to interpret the natural world and contribute to the great environmental debates facing our planet.

The Waterhouse is a valuable fixture in the Australian art world and offers artists a platform to showcase their skills, and make a statement about the scientific issues affecting us today.

The home of the prize - the South Australian Museum - continues to inspire artists with its world-class scientific research and collections.
