The Collie Art Gallery’s $50,000 Collie Art Prize is one of regional Australia’s richest individual art prizes, and forms part of the coal mining town’s push to diversify its economy into tourism and other industries.
Artists throughout the country have entered their pieces to address the theme of ‘Identity’. The winner and runners up will be announced at a gala event on 04 March 2023.
In response to the phenomenal success of the first two Collie Art Prizes the Collie Art Gallery is pleased to announce that South32 Worsley Alumina will continue to support in sponsoring the Best Western Australian Artist Award in 2023, which entails a generous cash prize plus a future exhibition at the gallery to the value of $1,000.
Significant operational funding has been forthcoming from the Coal Miners’ Welfare Board of Collie, Synergy and a Packers’ Prize is being funded by generous donations from the Hon Jodie Hanns, MLA, and Hon Dr Steve Thomas MLC.
Synergy is also sponsoring a youth section entitled Kid-Entity which will display alongside the major event.
