The 2024 G.O. Kruger Trust Memorial Prize for the Most Outstanding Artwork of the competition was awarded to Sue Grieves for ‘Colour Red’.
On Friday 24th October, Harden Murrumburrah Arts Council will be hosting the Opening Night of their 31st annual Festival of Arts at the Arts Council building (Old Courthouse) in Murrumburrah.
The annual competitive art exhibition and sale is held in October every year and hosts artists from the local area and as far as Canberra and Sydney, and the standard of the artworks is very high.
Last year there were 116 entries and this year is shaping up to be as big. Artists compete for the G.O. Kruger Memorial Prize of $1,000, which is for the most outstanding artwork of the exhibition in any media, and members of HMAC compete for the Member’s Prize, which has been raised to $500 this year.
Attendees of Opening Night will be able to view the artworks from 7.00pm and the prizes will be presented at 8.00pm. There will be a lucky door prize and a raffle of a painting by Cootamundra artist, Ann Hand.
Entry to Opening Night is $5.00 per person. Following the Opening Night, the exhibition will be open for two weekends, on Saturday 25th, Sunday 26th October & Saturday 1st November from 10am until 4pm & on Sunday 2nd November from 10am until 2pm.
