First Prize! Linden New Art – Postcard Show 2019-20

January 7, 2020 In Exhibitions

At the 22 November gallery opening I was thrilled that my image ‘Shaun The Wanderer’ won the overall first prize.  The Postcard Gallery Show is a fabulous exhibition of magic works all measuring exacting 8 x 10 (inches that is!!) The show is an open entry artwork prize exhibition which has been running since 1990. The brilliant gallery is within the rooms of the Linden New Art Gallery at 26 Acland Street in StKilda.

My prize was a supported by the lovely people at Palais Theatre Community Fund and the judges were Phillip Adams,Director at  BalletLab along with Julie McLaren, Art Gallery of Ballarat.

The exhibition is running until 9 February and each entry is for sale.  Please come and check it out – you will fall in love with the show!
