Cricket Art Prize - Melbourne
Cricket, in all its forms is a national pastime, especially in our long summer, bringing people of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities together. Art echoes the emotions, beliefs and prejudices in a community that influence thought, behaviour and personality.
Endeavouring to join together the cricket-community and the art-world from their contrasting ‘ecosystems' in our national-psyche, the Cricket Art Prize inaugural competition allows artists to create a composition depicting an aspect of the game and sport of cricket in settings of backyard cricket, street-cricket, beach cricket or social-cricket - the style may be representative, modern or semi-abstract.
First prize of $20,000 has been generously underwritten by Kevin Maloney, founder and Executive Chairman of the MAC Services Group with the judging panel including Stuart MacGill, John McDonald, Anneke van der Pal, Dr Dick Quan and John Windus.
In addition to the prize money, an exhibition will be held in both Sydney and Melbourne, showcasing finalist entries:
- Thursday 8 October 2009 to 25 October 2009 - Member's Pavilion, Sydney Cricket Ground
- Monday 21 December 2009 to Thursday 7 January 2010 - Melbourne Cricket Ground
Funds raised at both exhibitions will be donated to the McGrath Foundation and the Ponting Foundation.
