Johnathon World Peace Bush: Finalist – The Alice Prize 2026

Johnathon World Peace Bush has been selected as a finalist in the 2026 Alice Prize!

The Alice Prize is a national, acquisitive contemporary art prize - open to artists from every corner of Australia and across every medium and theme. Our purpose is celebratory and practical: to bring outstanding new work to Central Australia so local audiences - artists, students, families and visitors - can see, think with and debate the ideas shaping Australian culture right now. Each acquisition strengthens our significant regional public collection, ensuring high calibre works remain accessible in Central Australia.

The Alice Prize and the Alice Springs Art Foundation were set up in 1970 to bring contemporary art from across Australia to Alice Springs for the benefit of its isolated, arts-hungry residents. The first exhibition was held on 3 October 1970.
