Mosman Art Prize 60th Anniversary
The Mosman Art Prize is the oldest, local government art award in Australia, offering an acquisitive ‘painting’ prize of $20,000, sponsored by Mosman Council, the Allan Gamble Memorial Art Prize of $3,000, the Viewers’ Choice Prize of $1,000, a Commendation Prize of $1,000, and a Young Emerging Artist’s Award of $1,000.
Many artists have boosted their careers through winning the prize and continue to submit new works each year. The Mosman Art Prize attracts a diverse and accomplished field of professional and amateur artists from all over Australia.
For many of these winning artists the Prize provided inspiration and encouragement to press on with their work, giving them recognition, and more often than not, crucial financial assistance.
