GEORGES RIVER ART PRIZE 2017

FOREWORD

On behalf of Georges River Council, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural Georges River Art Prize. This new biennial art prize has been developed on the wonderful success and foundations of the Kogarah Art Prize and St George Art Awards.

We believe Georges River Art Prize is an important cultural event for the Georges River community, and demonstrates Council’s commitment to providing ongoing opportunities for artists to share their work across the categories of painting, sculpture and youth art.

Georges River Art Prize provides a platform for local emerging artists to exhibit side by side with well-known national artists, and exposes contemporary art practices to the local community. The exhibit itself provides local residents the opportunity to view high quality Australian art, without needing to visit the Sydney CBD.

Council takes its role as facilitator of the arts in the region seriously, and shows a dedicated commitment to the arts and cultural projects. Georges River Art Prize is a valuable addition to existing Sydney-based art prizes, and the inclusion of two local youth prizes distinguishes it, as few other prizes have a dedicated youth category.

I congratulate all the entrants and finalists on the exceptional quality of their work, and I hope you enjoy the 2017 Georges River Art Prize.

CURATOR COMMENT

Welcome to the inaugural Georges River Art Prize.

We were very happy to see an overwhelming interest in the newly established art prize with over 300 submissions received. This demonstrates that the Georges River Art Prize is an important platform for all Australian artists to showcase their diverse artistic talents and foster their creative endeavours. This biennial prize, hosted by Hurstville Museum & Gallery and Kogarah Library and Cultural Centre, brings together the best parts of the St George Art Awards and the Kogarah Art Prize.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank each finalist for sharing their artistic perspective with our audience.

The task of judging is not an easy one and we would like to give a heartfelt thanks to our judges Kon Gouriotis, Greg Hansell and Monica McMahon.

Most importantly, we would like to congratulate each finalist of this year’s Georges River Art Prize and we hope that you all enjoy this diverse art exhibition.
