Since 1951, The Blake Prize has engaged artists, nationally and internationally, with ideas of spirituality and religion. Liverpool Powerhouse (formerly Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre) has proudly presented The Blake Prize as a biennial event since 2016, ensuring the future of this landmark prize. The 69th Blake Prize in 2026 will continue to encourage contemporary artists of varied styles and religious and spiritual allegiances to create significant works of art, which engage in conversations and negotiations concerning spirituality, religion and/or belief. The judges choose the best contemporary artworks that address ideas related to religion, spirituality and/or belief.
