Open Spring exhibition & Blackheath Art Prize An exhibition
open to members and non-members.
Judge: Alan Sisley The judge found it very hard to choose the prizewinners and initially short-listed 30 for possible awards. He found the standard of the exhibition to be very high showing just how many artists live in the mountains and just how good many of them are. He was pleased to see such a mix of professional and emerging artists. He was particularly impressed with the quality of printmaking. He commented on the diversity of subject, media and style and noted that there were very good works in all fields.

Blackheath Art Prize:
Judge's comments: Meticulous craftsmanship. A very fine watercolour which captures the romance and wonder of Alice in Wonderland - all in a wonderful period setting. Reminiscent of the finest European book illustration.

Judge's comments: (not verbatim) Richard was very impressed with the overall standard of the exhibition with many artists exhibiting works which could have been eligible for awards. He recalled that he judged the member's exhibition at Easter 2004 and thought that both the presentation of the exhibition and the standard of work had improved considerably since then.

Members Annual Easter Art Exhibition An
exhibition displaying the variety of talent among members of the Society. Open to members only.
Judged by: Kath von Witt, Director Hawkesbury Regional Gallery, Windsor.
The judge was really impressed with the breadth and scope of the works in the exhibition. It was very hard to choose, especially the commended awards as there were so many possible contenders. Kath enjoyed seeing the work of so many artists who obviously must be engaged in the creative process. She reminds us that the need to see art for art’s sake and that being part of a creative process is more important than the whole prize and awarding process.
