Unfortunately due to covid restrictions, the Opening Event for the FAC Open Exhibition Prize 2021 did not go ahead as planned but it is incredibly uplifting to see the spirt of artists who submitted their work this year.
The Open Exhibition Competition is a major annual arts program delivered by Frankston City Council, which provides artists with the opportunity to address a chosen theme through their choice of medium.
This year’s artists have explored the theme Change – inspired by pivotal global events, the theme was open to broad artistic interpretation and could be approached from a personal, social, historical, aesthetic or climatic perspective.
Today, the Frankston Art Centre announced that the winner for this year’s Open Exhibition Competition is Ryan Lee for his video artwork ‘Wonnarua’.
Congratulations to Ryan for his incredibly powerful work.
I feel privileged to be in such a great company with my digital work ‘The Artist 2020‘.
All works are available to view on FAC YouTube Channel here
