2011 Mosman Youth Art Prize

Saturday 7 May – Sunday 29 May 2011

The Mosman Youth Art Prize is an annual exhibition organised by Mosman Council which features the diverse talents of young, aspiring and emerging artists aged between 12 and 20 years. It was initiated in 1988 by the internationally renowned artist and local resident Ken Done AM.

The 2011 Mosman Youth Art Prize really hits the mark – it is a fabulous kaleidoscope of the dreams and talents of Australia’s most promising young and emerging artists. I love the range of art the exhibition attracts – the incredible variety of paintings, drawings and prints on display are complemented with fabulous photographic works, playful sculptures and extraordinary video works.
—Mosman Art Gallery Director, John Cheeseman
