About the Art Show

We again have the fantastic support of community businesses in the Birregurra and Colac district who have generously contributed to the Art Show. They have sponsored first prizes of $500, and second prizes of $250. The total prize money offered to artists is $6250.

Categories & Prizes

We are pleased to announce that Irrewarra Sourdough is again offering an additional prize of $1000 to be chosen from the category winners.

The Art Show is of valuable community benefit, contributing over $9000 every year to community based art projects, with recent focus on fostering young talent at the Birregurra school. 

The seven exhibition categories are:
  1. DRAWING
  2. PASTEL-WORK
  3. WATERCOLOUR/WASHWORK
  4. PAINTING
  5. PHOTOMEDIA
  6. PRINTMAKING
  7. OTHER MEDIA

We exhibit around 300 entries, but every year we are oversubscribed. If you are an artist, please get your entries in as soon as you can.

We take entries in order of receipt, and once we have confirmation of payment of the entry fee.

Due to popular demand, we now have the facility for payment by electronic transfer.

Entry Details

All entries must be for sale - the Art Show applies 25% commission, so please price your works accordingly. 

Entry fee to be advised

Up to three works of maximum size 1.2m x 1.2m may be entered by an individual artist (90cm width for works mounted behind glass).

Unfortunately due to space constraints we can only accept one work of greater than 1m per artist.

Entry forms will be available from early June through mail-outs to past contributing artists and by following the links on this website.
