2021 Women’s Art Prize Finalists

RANT Arts have announced the finalists shortlisted for the 2021 Women’s Art Prize Tasmania (see below).

RANT Arts and the Prize Steering Committee offer their congratulations to the 25 finalists who were selected from nearly 200 entries received from across the state.

These artists are now in the running for the $15,000 Trawalla Foundation Acquisitive Prize, the $3,000 Bell Bay Aluminium People’s Choice Award and the $1,500 Zonta Emerging Artist Prize.

This year’s judging panel was composed of three respected Tasmanian arts sector professionals: Kylie Johnson (Curator Contemporary Art Tasmania), Tracy Puklowski (Director Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery) and Sarah Rhodes (2020 Women’s Art Prize Tasmania winner).

The Judges responded to this year’s prize by saying, “At a time when the world needs its artists more than ever – this year’s entries are testament to the fact that Tasmania’s women artists are dynamic, diverse, resilient and a powerhouse of creativity.”

Prize winners will be announced at the official opening of the exhibition at Maker’s Space Gallery (Burnie) on Thursday 10 June 2021, 6pm.

Exhibition tour dates:
Makers’ Space Gallery (Burnie): 11 June to 25 July 2021.
