The annual Wallace Art Awards marks its 20th anniversary this year and The Dowse will showcase the winners and most of the finalists. The Dowse is the only Wellington venue to host this outstanding awards exhibition; the awards are the longest running of their type in New Zealand. With prizes amounting to over $165,000, the awards will be presented by Auckland Mayor Len Brown at The Pah Homestead, TSB Bank Wallace Arts Centre on Monday 5 September.
The 20th Awards are shaping up to be the biggest yet, with 559 entries received from which 116 finalists have been selected. This year the Awards are being judged by three distinguished New Zealand artists – Philip Trusttum, Sara Hughes and Peter Gibson-Smith.
The winner of the Paramount Award of the 19th Wallace Art Awards last year was Sam Mitchell, who received a six month residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Program in New York, and a bronze trophy by Terry Stringer.
Founded by Auckland businessman in 1992, James Wallace, the Wallace Art Awards acknowledge, encourage and financially reward contemporary New Zealand artists producing outstanding work in the mediums of painting, sculpture and photography. Many of the winners and finalists are added to the Wallace Collection each year. Catalogues will be available for sale during the exhibition.
