This is where we step behind the gallery walls and into the creative lives of our artists. From candid interviews and studio visits to the stories that unfold at our exhibitions and events, our Journal captures the moments, musings, and making-of that shape The Corner Store Gallery.
We’re thrilled to announce that the winner of the 2025 Mini Series Art Prize is Rachel Lucas. Her stunning ceramic series "Mortals" was a unanimous favourite among the judges. Refined, grounding, and deeply resonant, her work made a lasting impression. Rachel has been awarded a solo exhibition at The Corner Store Gallery in 2026, and we can’t wait to see what she creates for this body of work.
Read MoreWe are absolutely thrilled to announce the 2023 winner of our Mini Series Art Prize Karlie Simring with her textiles series titled Animate. Karlie has won a solo exhibition with us here in 2024 as first prize. The Corner Store Gallery will champion Karlie’s work and provide an established and professional platform for her to showcase and grow her practice.
Read MoreOur three judges Lucy Stranger (Curator of Orange Regional Gallery), Angela Malone (local artist and educator) and Corner Store Gallery Director Madeline Young had a seriously difficult task deciding the winner with so many fantastic finalists. Artists were invited to create a small body of work which would in theory give us a “preview” of what their solo exhibition would be. The judges felt Ana’s series was diverse as well as consistent across all three works. We all agreed that Ana’s series of work was absolutely beautiful, unique, conceptually strong, consistent, great quality and most deserving our top prize! Ana has won a rent-free solo exhibition with The Corner Store Gallery in 2022 and we hope to further her promising career as a visual artist!
