EOIs are now open for the Joyce Spencer Textile Awards, which are awarded annually to support regional NSW textile artists or collectives in delivering new artworks or exhibitions.

Named after the textile artist Joyce Spencer (1928 – 2019), the awards are made possible with funds from the Spencer family and Western Riverina Arts, in partnership with the Cad Factory.

In 2026 we will award:

  • One fellowship of $4000 to a mid-career artist or group to assist in achieving their outcome;
  • A $1500 highly commended award; and
  • A $600 prize.

For projects delivered between July 2026 and December 2028.

Round 6 applications are now open and will close on Friday 19 June 2026 at midnight.
