Lethbridge 20000 Small Scale Art Award 2019

First of all, thanks for hanging in there with me, as not much time has been spent in the studio over the last six months. Fortunately, something that I did paint a few weeks ago, “Notes in gold, Creek & Queen” has been shortlisted for the 2019 Lethbridge 20000 Small Scale Art Award in Brisbane. Just enough time for it to dry, be varnished, framed and to build a crate to get it to Brisbane (in one piece hopefully).

This year, to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Australia's largest small scale art prize the prize money has been doubled to $20 000.
The Lethbridge Art Award is open to national and international artists for small-scale artworks. Entrants may submit 2D artworks up to 61cm (24 inches) in height or width. The Judging is based on three equally evaluated criteria of creativity, originality and skill.

The inception stage

For anyone in the Brisbane area, the Finalists’ Exhibition runs from 27 June to 6 July. The Awards night is on Saturday 29 June from 6 pm at Lethbridge Gallery, 136 Latrobe Terrace Paddington QLD 4061.
