A privately-funded regional arts prize is now calling for entries. Three thousand dollars is on offer to emerging regional Queensland artists and photographers.
The Winter Family Regional Arts Incentive is an art prize conceived and funded by professional artist and businessman Craig Winter to encourage young emerging Queensland visual artists (under 32yo as at December 2008) to earn a living from their creativity.
As well as prizes totalling over $3000, the Incentive will provide basic business resourcing to the winners each year through professional workshops provided by leading accountants and artists, as well as ongoing marketing support and advice.
“I was fortunate enough that my father is a professional artist and that my parents encouraged me to pursue a career in the arts when I was younger” says Incentive Director Craig Winter “Many young, talented artists and photographers struggle to earn a living, and this incentive is designed to give them the tools to continue creating in the future.”
Entries must be received by the close of business on August 29th 2008. Entries and be emailed or posted.
Twelve finalists will be chosen to hang their original works for the final judging at the Hervey Bay Regional gallery where the winner will be announced on October 17th.
For full terms & conditions as well as entry forms, go to www.artsonfire.com.au or telephone 07 4124 4416.
