2017 Redlands Konica Minolta Art Prize has largest group of artists in Prize’s history

The Redlands Konica Minolta Art Prize 2017 has announced the full list of participating artists comprising 20 emerging and 20 established Australian contemporary artists, including five artist collectives and one artist duo. Each artist presents a single work in the 21st annual prize exhibition presented at Sydney’s National Art School Gallery from 28 March until 20 May 2017.

2017 guest curator of the Prize, respected contemporary artist Callum Morton and former winner of the Prize in 2013, noted: “The 2017 Redlands Art Prize has the largest and perhaps most diverse range of participants in its history.”

Morton’s selection of 20 established artists included Australian representative at the 2007 Venice Biennale Daniel von Sturmer, acclaimed London-based Aboriginal artist Christian Thompson, and recipient of the 2016 Biennale of Sydney Legacy artwork Agatha Gothe-Snape.
