The Western Australian Goldfields region’s richest Art Prize is back for 2020, and invites artwork submissions that address the theme of Identity: Individuality in a modern world.
The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder places pride in its rich multicultural history and diverse community, and this year’s theme seeks to highlight the breadth of diversity and individuality within the local community, and Australia more generally.
In a collaboration between the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, Gold Fields and the Museum of the Goldfields, East Kalgoorlie Primary School (EKPS) students embarked on a major art project with acclaimed local Aboriginal artists Edie Ulrich, Marjorie Stubbs and Danny Ulrich.
The project built students’ art and language skills, and relationships, allowing the passing of cultural knowledge between generations, and provided a taste of what it is like to have a career as an artist.
Sponsored by Ramelius Resources, Kellerberrin’s Black Ant Art Gallery was overflowing for the official opening of the 2019 Wheatbelt Art Prize, with artists, residents and sponsors enjoying over 150 pieces of local art on display.
The exhibition will remain open for two weeks and the artworks are for sale.
