John Fries Memorial Prize


Brilliant news of the month:

I am one of the finalists for the John Fries Memorial Prize!

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
