Congratulations to Dagmar Cyrulla and Richard Dunlop who have both been selected for the Albany Art Prize 2011. With a first prize of $25 000, The City of Albany Art Prize aims to attract entries from artists of excellence from throughout Australia.

As well as this major cash prize, the winner will have the opportunity to spend up to four weeks in a self-contained studio cottage, at the Vancouver Arts Centre, Albany, with $2500 for associated expenses.

Richard is having a major solo exhibition with us in April 2011. Stay tuned for more details.
