All announced as 2015 FINALISTS in the Mosman Art Prize

The Mosman Art Prize is an annual, acquisitive award for painting sponsored by Mosman Municipal Council. Established in 1947, the Prize is one of the oldest and most prestigious, local government art awards in Australia.

The winner of the first Mosman Art Prize, judged by Lloyd Rees in 1947, was Margaret Olley. Subsequent Prize winners include many prominent artists such as Grace Cossington Smith, Weaver Hawkins, Nancy Borlase, Anthony Galbraith, Elisabeth Cummings, Janet Dawson, Jenny Sages and Tim Johnson. Last year, the Mosman Art Prize was won by artist Michael Muir. Past adjudicators of the Prize have also included prominent figures in the Australian art world such as Margaret Preston, John Olsen, Tim Storrier, Edmund Capon and Margaret Olley.

With up to $41,000 in prize money awarded ($30,000 for 1st Prize) it is a competitive prize and had over 850 entries this year. Each of the four KAB Gallery artists have very different styles, it’s great to see such a great variety accepted into the exhibition. 

Congratulations to the four artists and we look forward to the winners announcement soon!
