Mardi Gras Gallery 2010

The Mardi Gras Gallery returns for the 2010 Festival! Featuring the work of local and international artists, the Gallery showcases the exciting queer talent our community has on offer. This year’s Gallery has a special focus on portraits, reflecting on our Festival theme: “Mardi Gras’ History of the World”, so be sure to check out the interpretations by our artists! Also on display is the Mardi Gras Festival season artwork, by artist Scott Elk.

In 2010, with the support of the CAL Cultural Fund, the Gallery will be awarding one of the artists with the New Mardi Gras Gallery Art Prize – a $500 cash prize. The winner will be chosen by a panel of judges and announced on Wednesday 24 February, from 6.00pm, at a special launch event. Gallery audiences will also be able to vote for their favourite work, as part of SX’s Festival Favourite Award – a $400 cash prize. Take a moment, spend some time enjoying the visual delights and vote for what you think should be the Prize-winning work! The winner of the SX award will be announced after the last day of exhibition.
