The Victorian Artists Society Autumn Select Exhibition marks the first qualifying round for artists competing for the prestigious Hylton Mackley Artist of the Year Award.
The highly anticipated select exhibitions showcases member artists working across all mediums, with the strongest works selected to be exhibited throughout the upper galleries and eligible for peer votes toward December’s major prize. Each of the three select exhibitions across the year also offers a first prize.
There is no overarching theme for the Autumn Select, rather the focus is on presenting the very best of what these artists have to offer. As the selection process becomes increasingly competitive, the Autumn Select promises to be a celebration of the diverse and dynamic talent within the Victorian Artists Society community.
The Autumn Select opening night is on Saturday 28 March, 7pm.
