Mid West Art Prize 2012

It is with some pride that the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery presents the second Mid West Art Prize Exhibition.

Scheduled to open Saturday 3 March 2012 this Art Prize will once more be open to artists throughout Western Australia with all entries being new creations thereby ensuring an original exhibition of previously unseen works which will attract a diverse range of people as well as provide a challenge for all artists.

The City of Greater Geraldton has renewed its committment to this event and together with the support of our greatly appreciated sponsors, an amount of $45 000 in non acquisitive awards will again be made available. This can be compared very favourably to other high profile Art Prizes and Awards conducted throughout Australia.

The inaugural Mid West Art Prize as launched in March 2011 was a great success and a fitting beginning for what the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery, City of Greater Geraldton and Art Gallery of Western Australia recognize this exhibition to be; a significant cultural event, not only for the Mid West but all of Western Australia.

The Gallery staff and management look forward to the various challenges that lie ahead as we plan to not only sustain the momentum achieved in 2011 but to put in place new initiatives which will see this Art Prize grow in upward and outward direction.
