Another of our fabulous artists has gone and got themselves in the final hanging of a prestigious art prize - the 2019 Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award. Painter Sarah Mufford is one of just 86 finalists chosen this year from a staggering 800 artists from throughout Australia. The Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award is a significant national exhibition that aims to elevate the status of works on paper while supporting and promoting artists working with this medium. The works in the 2019 Award demonstrate the materiality of paper, its versatility and the possibilities of paper as a medium. Paper can be cut, torn, folded, layered, scratched, scrunched, burned, animated, woven, found and re-purposed.
Visitors to the exhibition, can also vote for The People’s Choice Award of $1,000 which will be announced on Monday 8 November.
