Daphne Young Watercolour Prize
Sat 6 Oct - Tues 30 Oct, 2018 Art Prizes: 1st: $700, 2nd: $300 3rd: $100 Peoples Choice Award $125 (voucher from June’s Jewellery) 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

Armidale Art Prize
The New England Art Society is holds the Armidale Art Prize and Exhibition annually just after Easter in the calendar year. This event continues the tradition of showcasing a cross-section of regional art and has become the highlight of the Society's year. The New England Art Society supports and encourages art in New England. Each year the number and quality of the entries show the success in this event. The Armidale Art Prize began in 2009. This year, we have returned to a more traditional approach to the categories in which artists can enter their works. The three categories are:
We also have a People’s Choice and an Environment Prize that sit across all categories. Each of the three categories have a first prize of $700 and a second prize of $300. The Environment prize is $400 and the People’s Choice, $100. These prizes are made possible due to the generous support of our sponsors.
