Art Prize
"Artists are shape-shifters and in this there is a perennial, ferocious hope; the hope which transforms, which whispers of possibility, of vision, of change and radical healing. Existing art about climate change has this characteristic, acknowledging the truth and severity of the issue but also affirming within it something of grace, seeing the starlight within the night." – Jay Griffiths, 2009

Art Exhibition


In celebration of the Flannery Centre's official opening (to be held in May this year), artists across Australia are invited to create a piece of artwork that responds to the following statement:

Humanity is now living in ways which outstrip the capacity to provide an equitable, healthy lifestyle for future generations.

With 7 billion people a number of planetary boundaries have been reached which will drive fundamental changes to the way we live and work.

The statement above is the driving force behind the development of the Flannery Centre.
This artwork can take any (permanent) form and be designed for an indoor or outdoor space.

Artists are also asked to write a short (300 word max) explanation to accompany their work.

The winning artwork will become part of Skillset's Flannery Centre space and help pass these ideals on to all those who use the building.
