Marie Ellis OAM Prize for Drawing 2014

Overview

Recognised nationwide, the Marie Ellis OAM Prize for Drawing is a significant event on the Brisbane arts calendar. Hundreds of entries are submitted for consideration, showcasing the amount of depth and imagination within our artistic community. Now in its fifth year, the prize exhibition will be one of the best yet.

Marie Corella Ellis OAM was an important figure in the creation of Jugglers Art Space (one of Brisbane’s most loved arts hubs), as she resided in the Brunswick Street address, where Jugglers is now situated, for more than 60 years.
