Art Prizes

A new, one-off dedicated art prize for Australian Aboriginal artists.

artwork by Mor Mor Mutthi Mutthi
Not only do finalists get to be seen in Sydney, but the winner then gets transported to California (just as interest in Aboriginal art is zooming in the US following the Gagosian show of Steve Martin’s collection) with the chance to create an artwork there for the Ventura community. This is the Vita Art Centre’s 2019 iteration of its pioneering  Global Artist Initiative, which in the past has involved Cuba, Mexico, Afghanistan and North Korea

Initially, images of 5 artworks should be entered, but only one will then be selected for Sydney. In California, up to 15 paintings (no 3D works) will be shown – shipping at the Global Artist Initiative’s expense.

Hope you can quickly inform your membership. Closing date for entries is 31st July.

Here are the details:

Announcing the winners of the PYRMONT ART PRIZE 2018

CONGRATULATIONS 

TO THE PRIZE WINNER PYRMONT ART PRIZE 2018

We would like to thank the sponsors

Bendigo Bank

Metro Aspire Hotels

Derivan

Below are the winners

Here are some pix of the glorious but windy 2 days. We bought a beautiful white tent on line, which we set up on Friday, that blew away on the night with the wind tragically, so the plan of an outdoor gallery then became displaying the art on furniture!!!! Never the less it was a special weekend and images of the winners will come soon!

The kids form the local International Grammar School contributed some fantastic artwork. Parents & children came down to see. I know the teacher is really great because the artwork was amazing and the kids were so proud.!

There were some wonderful paintings on display & we sold too.

A new wonderful addition was the outdoor painting class both days hosted by artist Vee Malnar who represents PAINTED UP SYDNEY. Looking forward to next year! start painting your one foot square artworks & get involved in this wonderful community art festival.
