The19th Annual Wallace Art Awards 2010
The James Wallace Arts Trust is now calling for entries to the 19th Wallace Art Awards 2010, amounting to over $150,000. These Awards are the longest surviving and largest annual art awards of their kind in New Zealand and are widely regarded as the most prestigious. They differ from other important New Zealand art prizes in that they aim to provide challenging opportunities and broadening experiences to the top 4 winners by way of residencies at top-level international institutions.
The Awards are given for contemporary New Zealand painting, sculpture, drawing and unique photography to encourage the visual arts in New Zealand and in particular to reward those producing outstanding work.
This year the entries will be judged by Philip Trusttum, Peter Gibson-Smith and Sara Hughes.
2010 will be an exciting year in the history of the Wallace Art Awards as it is the first year that they will be presented at the new permanent home for the James Wallace Arts Trust and its Collection at The Pah Homestead, soon to be known as The TSB Bank Wallace Arts Centre, which is due to open to the public on Sunday the 15th of August 2010.
