Brilliant news of the month:
The prize was formed by the family members of John Fries to commemorate his work as former director and honorary treasurer at Viscopy, a not-for-profit rights management organisation for the visual arts.
The John Fries Memorial Prize is an annual award of $10 000 and solo exhibition at Viscopy's contemporary art space, Blackfriars off Broadway. Entries open each April and I, on a whim, entered one of my charcoal portraits. I am now one of the lucky 17 selected out of 300 entrants to exhibit at Blackfriars off Broadway and possibly win the award.
Please come and support me on:
The 10th of August (tuesday)
from 6-9pm
at
Blackfriars on Broadway
1 Blackfriars Street
Chippendale
NSW 2008
The winner will be announced on opening night
and the exhibition runs from the 11th of August to 30th of September
