The Curatorial Committee of GiG will display the artworks in The Gallery and there will be an opening event on Friday 11th April where an eminent judge from the art world will announce their selection of the two winners and two highly commended pieces. The exhibition will then continue until the end of April. All entries will be for sale at prices nominated by the artists.
About The Anderson Art Award
This Award acknowledges the magnificent contributions that Rob and Lee Anderson have made to the Arts on the Myall Coast over many years. Their most significant has been establishing “The Gallery” on the Tea Gardens waterfront.
Galleries in the Garden is a not-for-profit cooperative of about 50 local artists on the Myall Coast that aims to provide outlets for local artists to exhibit work, improve cultural heritage of the region and foster participation in the arts.
