ART, community and creativity collide at this year’s Scotts Head Art Prize, returning to the local arts calendar with expanded prize offerings.
Opening night kicks off at 6pm on Friday 3 October at the Macksville Scotts Head Surf Club.
Entry is free.
The evening promises to be a lively celebration of artistic talent, with a licensed bar and share plates available.
Presented by the Scotts Head Art and Craft Collective, this not-for-profit community event proudly supports and showcases artists from across the Nambucca Valley and beyond.
With entries open until 19 September, the Art Prize is providing a platform for both emerging and established artists.
This year’s prize pool includes a $500 First Prize, $100 Highly Commended, $300 People’s Choice Award and a new $500 Best in Show award.
The main exhibition runs from Saturday 4 to Monday 6 October from 10am to 4pm daily, also with free entry.
A once-annual tradition, the Scotts Head Art Prize had been paused in recent years, however returned in 2024 much to the appreciation of the community.
Thanks to the dedication of local artists Kristin Hardiman, Kerrie Swan, and Tracey Bowden, the event is being brought back to life again, better than ever.
“We invite everyone in the district to come join us on the long weekend for a celebration of creativity,” Kristin told News Of The Area.
