Event Partner Singleton Council, have been the longest-serving of our sponsors, since the event's inception in 1983 when it was started by the Singleton Artists.
An event of this scale would not be possible without our venue, Singleton Civic Centre, where we saw over 900 visitors through the doors over the five days of the 2025 exhibition.
In addition to the venue and media support of Singleton Council in promoting the Singleton Art Prize, we also work with our friends at the Arts & Culture Centre, where volunteers come and assist with hanging our exhibition, as well as exhibiting the Singleton Collection for the duration of our exhibition.

Thank you Singleton Council for partnering with us to bring this cultural event to the people of Singleton as well as the many visitors to our area.

Our relationship with Event Partner, Yancoal Australia (Mount Thorley Warkworth and Ashton sites) is a long and storied history. This support given over many years has enabled the event to grow, and flourish to the well-established and highly respected exhibition we have today.

This support has also enabled future-proofing of the event with the Singleton Art Prize Future Fund. The FF sees some portion of the proceeds each year set aside to build the financial capacity of the event long into the future.

Thank you Yancoal for your support this year and through our on-going relationship.

Thank you WesTrac for your support of the Singleton Art Prize. WesTrac sponsor the Flowers and Miniatures categories, both always hotly contested by our artists.
The Miniatures in particular require a specific talent, as a miniature is not merely a small picture, but the miniaturisation of an entire scene onto a small canvas space. This requires a command of an artist's brush strokes unlike any other section!

The Local section is a favourite among our visitors, showcasing some of the best artistic talent in the Singleton LGA. Kevin O'Brien has been one of our longest serving sponsors and it is wonderful to be able to recognise and reward our local artists with their own category.
In a true family affair, we appreciate Kevin's family who come to help on pack up day every year. Thank you Kevin and family for your long-time support of the event and our local artists.

Long time sponsor Hunter Valley Operations is a valued member of the Singleton Art Prize team. In addition to sponsoring the Portrait and Pencil Pen & Ink categories, HVO always send their very best apprentices to assist Rotary on set up and pack up days.
The team of young men and women see the frames and lighting are set up and taken down, and that our shipping container is neatly packed and a testament to their tetris skills!
Thank you HVO for your support of the Singleton Art Prize.

Our event simply cannot happen without the support of our sponsors. AGL Macquarie Hunter Valley have returned in 2025 and we are so pleased to have them take up the mantle of sponsor for the Youth categories.
When our visitors see the quality of work presented by our youth entrants, some as young as eight years old, many comment on how mature and advanced their works are for their ages.
We love to see our young artists flourish and thank AGL for their support this year.
