McClelland is delighted to announce a Director’s initiative, presenting four awards for small sculptures valued at $3000 each. The awards are generously supported by the Elisabeth Murdoch Sculpture Fund and a Private Donor, and aim to provide Australian sculptors with opportunities and support in light of the effect of COVID-19 on the livelihoods of artists
The awards are non-acquisitive and there may be a physical exhibition in due course, however a digital catalogue of shortlisted finalists will be distributed to encourage engagement through McClelland’s professional networks.
There are no limits on materials used, but the work must have been made after 2010 and must not exceed 50cm in its largest dimension. Please follow the link to view the full submission guidelines and apply.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!
