ABOUT

 

Newcastle Art Space has led the promotion and coordination of this valued art prize on behalf of The Newcastle Club Foundation since 2016. The Club has made a strong commitment to local artists through its art collection, and through the establishment and ongoing evolution of this annual acquisitive art prize. In working with NAS as its partner to deliver the Prize, the Club recognizes the history and strength of NAS as a conduit to our region’s artistic community and beyond.

​Over the years the club has hosted the finalists and their guests at the Newcastle Club where the finalist exhibition has taken place. 

The acquisitive prize has led to the building of a significant art collection which can be seen on the walls of the Club and includes works by Vera Zulumovski, Paul Maher, John Morris, Sally West amongst others.
