Daphne Young Watercolour Prize
Sat 31 Aug - Tues 1 Oct, 2019 Art Prizes: 1st: $700, 2nd: $300 3rd: $100 Peoples Choice Award $100 The Daphne Young Watercolour Art Prize is one of only a few competitions solely for classic watercolour works and this year, as in the past, it has brought together impressive art works from across the New England region and beyond. The exhibition celebrates the creativity of the contributing artists as well as the memory of Daphne Young. Daphne was an established artist who exhibited widely in Brisbane and Sydney before coming to our region and establishing a studio in Invergowrie with her partner Wes. As an artist, Daphne collaborated and worked with many well-known Australian artists including John Olsen. As a member of NEAS she is remembered for her passion for the medium of watercolour and the inspiration this gave to her fellow artists. Daphne championed this medium to give it the prominence she felt it warranted. She was 56 when she died in 1997. This fifth consecutive exhibition shows that she has been successful in this endeavour. Download the 2018 Daphne Young Watercolour Prize brochure for conditions of entry and Entry Form
