The Invitation Art Award is a prestigious annual exhibition for WA’s art community, held in an accessible and community-friendly space at Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City in October each year.
The acquisitive prize is one of the largest acquisitive cash prizes in the State, a cheque for $10,000, and the City adds the winning artwork to its growing art collection which is on display in the Civic Chambers, Administration Building and Libraries for the enjoyment of the whole community.

The exhibition features both contemporary and traditional styles, in diverse mediums and with a wide range of themes.

The City of Joondalup runs free tours of the exhibition for upper primary and secondary students and the exhibition features a “Popular Choice Award”, sponsored by Jacksons Drawing Supplies, where the viewing public can vote for their favourite work.
