The annual Clancy Religious Art Prize exhibition is a celebration of our students’ creativity and spirituality, expressed through visual arts, inspired by Cardinal Edward Clancy.

For your viewing pleasure we’ve collated all 2022 winning artworks right here in one place – or you can view all 60 entries at McGlade Gallery on Australian Catholic University’s Strathfield Campus until Friday, 5 August 2022.

The theme of the 2022 exhibition is Scripture: The bridge between heaven and earth.
