Botanic Art Prize 2021 | Call for Entries open soon. Here is a section of a recent article in Arts Hub written by GINA FAIRLEY: The York Botanic Art Prize was established by Jenny Garroun, Director of Gallery 152, in response to the regional town’s unique location about an hour out of Perth in Western Australia’s wheatbelt. ‘When I first conceived of the prize I was thinking small, but then I realised that there is no national botanic art prize. There are a lot of prizes that approach botanic art as a genre, but I am interested in a national conversation,’ Garroun told ArtsHub. The Prize aims to celebrate Western Australia's unique flora and highlight the importance of its conservation. The Prize is a collaboration with the York branch of the Wildflower Society of Western Australia, with the main prize underwritten by the Wildflower Society of Western Australia. #botanicart #wildflowers #ArtPrize #botanicalart #yorkarts #wheatbeltarts #ybap image: 2020 York Botanic Art Prize exhibition with finalists Eva Glac 'Grevillea Calliantha Shauna Mayben ‘This here's the wattle, the emblem of our Land.
