No matter whether you're a professional artist or an amateur,
the Mosman Art Prize exhibition is certainly not to be missed. Sponsored by Mosman Municipal Council, the Mosman Art Prize is an annual, acquisitive award for painting. Now in its 65th year, the Prize is one of most prestigious municipal awards in Australia with a major prize of $30,000.
Attracting around 8,000 entries annually, the competition has been very keen among a talented pool of established and emerging artists. This year's exhibition and prize winners have been selected by Anne Flanagan, Deputy Director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. The exhibition is currently showing at Mosman Art Gallery until 26 August.
