Churchie National Emerging Art Prize exhibition

Overview

Held from the 1st of August to the 20th of September at Griffith Art Gallery is the Churchie National Emerging Art Prize exhibition. This exhibition showcases the cream of the crop of up and coming artists. The public are invited to mosey around the gallery and view a range of pieces from mediums such as contemporary, traditional and new media.

This award has been running since 1987 and it aims to celebrate excellence in artist. The overall winner will receive a $15,000 prize sponsored by Brand and Slater architects. The artists on display at the Griffith Art Gallery are the chosen few whose pieces excelled. One such finalist is Kate Tucker, who was also a finalist in the Archibald Prize for her portrait of Missy Higgins.
