Travel stories

Enter our monthly Art Challenge and create a drawing responding to our theme - Travel stories
Taking inspiration from works in the AGNSW collection, our challenges offer a great opportunity for artistic expression plus a chance to win a Faber-Castell art pack, courtesy of program sponsor Faber-Castell.

Although travel restrictions continue to keep us close to home, we can still dream and plan for a trip in the future.

Where is your dream destination?

Create a postcard image of a favourite travel destination. Is it somewhere you’d like to visit again, or somewhere new? Perhaps you're longing to visit friends or family in distant places. Whether it’s an illustration of a memory, imagination, last year’s holiday snaps or colourful travel brochures, we’d love to hear about your dream holiday.

Add a greeting! We can't wait to hear about your trip!

Many artists have enjoyed making sketches on their travels. Here is a selection from the AGNSW collection.
