Art Awards & Exhibition 2023 -Second Prize Winner

Congratulations to Artist Sarah Sinclair, who was awarded second place in the awards.

Sarah’s piece, Old Shirt, was commended by the judges for, "the skill and simplicity in rendering the subject is commanding in its quietness; The artist has captured a disquiet that should not be present in the eyes of a young boy. Exquisitely rendered, and even though it is a small work and maybe because of it, the emotive power and intimacy of the portrait kept the judges coming back to it."  

Sarah received $2500 as the Second Prize winner.

Art Awards & Exhibition 2023 - Claremont Local Award Winner

Congratulations to Artist Aaron Moore, who was awarded The Claremont Local Award prize.

Aaron’s piece, Kut-a-wei-rah (King Billy), was commended by the judges for, "the work being skilfully and imaginatively executed, an original approach which shows vibrancy and assuredness in the artist’s mark making technique. The subject engages with local history, the Claremont Museum collection and it’s scale demands attention to a potentially overlooked local narrative"  

Aaron received $500 as the Claremont Local Award winner.
