Entries are now invited from interested artists representing all of the rich cultural diversity of Western Australia and including emerging, established, young and old.
These awards invite artists to consider the theme “Space”. One of the first things you notice about Rockingham is the sense of space. The flat terrain, the calm ocean and massive skies all combine to create space. There is a sense that we can see further, are closer to where the ocean meets the sky, the sky meets the land, the land touches the seas.
We all need space; whether it is to make a space for a home, a space for thought, a space for sharing with family and friends. And space is critical for our wellbeing. Artists are invited to respond to what space means to them.
Awards including acquisitive and non-acquisitive at a total value of $20,000, give people the opportunity to become part of the City’s art collection, show your work to a wider audience and be part of an exhibition across two venues that brings together the skills and imaginations of a large range of artist
Works will be selected from submitted digital images. Any significant changes to works following selection must be reported to the curator.
The selection panel’s decision for inclusion of entries is final and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into. Lobbying the curator, selection panel, or City of Rockingham staff will result in instant disqualification and preclude entry in future awards.
