• ENTRIES OPEN– the York Branch of the Wildflower Society of Western Australia has joined with Gallery 152 to launch the York Botanic Art Prize! Artists Australia-wide, working in any medium, are invited to submit Expressions of Interest for the award which has a prize pool of $8,000. Finalists will then have until October 20 to complete their work. Botanical art in Australia has undergone somewhat of a renaissance in the last 10 years; however, unlike other botanical art prizes, we’re not looking for scientific illustrations nor necessarily representative work – the only limitation being that work must directly relate to the theme of Western Australian flora and make reference to specific WA species. Expressions of Interest from artists for work which challenges traditional notions and conventions of botanical art, in a sense “botanical art in the expanded field”, are encouraged. Western Australia is renowned worldwide for its incredible diversity of plant life, with some of the richest biodiversity on the planet. Many are endemic to this land. The York Botanic Art Prize aims to celebrate this abundance of unique flora and highlight the importance of its conservation. As Wildflower Society of WA’s President, Kevin Thiele said “this is an innovative and exciting way to encourage people to engage with and learn more about WA’s extraordinary flora, and the Wildflower Society, in particular the York branch, is pleased to be able to support this new initiative”. #prize Entries by Expression of Interest close Sunday 21 June, 2020 11.59pm AWST exhibition | October 31, 2020 – January 3, 2021 The award will be judged by Professor Kingsley Dixon, Helen Turner, Gregory Pryor and Angela Stewart #entriesopen #australianartcompetitions #wildflowers #sculpture #drawing #printmaking #objectdesign #fibreart #stitch #ceramics #painting

  • Here’s a peep into the studio of Shane Moad ahead of his upcoming exhibition. Despite being a two-time winner of Australia’s largest regional art prize, the Cossack Art Award, and with paintings in both public and private collections, Shane rarely exhibits. We are very excited to be showing his work from June 20-August 16. His career began with early showings in York and we are pleased to be able to celebrate Gallery 152’s re-opening with this exhibition of recent work.

I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAY MY VOLUNTEERS FOR ALL THEIR EFFORT.
