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 2023 winning artworks right here in one place – or you can view all 80 entries at McGlade Gallery on Australian Catholic University’s Strathfield Campus until Friday 22 Sept 2023.

The theme for this year’s Clancy Prize is ‘Pilgrimage, the inner and outer journey to seek transformation’,
