Formed in 2012, WA Portrait Artists is an association of artists who include portraiture within their practice. Each year we host a group exhibition to promote our members' work and showcase the diversity of interpretation that make up the genre.​

​

To become a member of the group, artists must live in or have a connection to Western Australia and have been a finalist in a major portraiture award such as the Lester Prize, Doug Moran National Portrait Prize or The Archibald. We also have juried membership invitations for recognised artists within the genre of portraiture.
