Visual Arts News…Student Success!
Congratulations to Sofia Gonzalez of Year 7 for her success in being one of 60 finalists in the 2022 University of New England School Acquisitive Art Prize, Let’s Hang It!
There were 591 art entries this year, from 46 schools, and these works demonstrated the application of a very high standard of technical skill as well as creative expression. The selection committee commented that there was a wonderful diversity of art media and subject matter represented which made the selection process very difficult, given the high standard.
The opening of the 2022 University of New England School Acquisitive Art Prize (UNESAP) Let’s Hang It! exhibition will be held at 6pm on Friday 29 July 2022 at the New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) in Armidale and the exhibition will be on display until Sunday 14 August 2022.
The judge this year for the first and second place prizes is local artist James O’Hanlon and the Director of NERAM, Rachael Parsons, will also present a Director's Choice Award. A People’s Choice Award will be voted for over the duration of the exhibition via the online exhibition page and the winner announced at the conclusion. There is also an award for The Most Outstanding School, recognising the commitment to quality in artmaking.
If you are a keen artist, keep an eye on future School Newsletters for details of art prizes that you can enter.
Congratulations Sofia!
