Watershed Art Prize 2011

Hey Restless Readers, if you have a passion for the environment and a share a love for the brush and canvas then check out the Watershed Art Prize.

The City of Salisbury, along with sponsors ICE WaRM, have created the Watershed Art Prize, an art exhibition that encourages the awareness of issues surrounding wetlands and the sustainability of water as a precious natural resource. Salisbury is home to more than 50 constructed wetlands covering over 300 hectares which provide a rich habitat for native plants and animals as well as a recreational ground for the community and an alternative water supply for the future. To celebrate Salisbury’s sustainable approach to water management, the Watershed Art Prize open’s it’s doors to all South Australian artists, awarding a $5000 first prize for artwork depicting wetlands, biodiversity and/or water sustainability.

Entries into the exhibition close on the 1st of June and the art prize will be awarded at the exhibition opening night in the John Harvey Gallery at 6:30pm on the 8th of June.

Entry forms and conditions of entry for the Watershed Art Prize are available online at http://cweb.salisbury.sa.gov.au/manifest/servlet/page?pg=20238
