Three Faces -Mansfield Portrait Art Prize -
Invitation to all local portrait artists to register by October 7th.
If you are a Mansfield or Mt Buller portrait artist, register your expression of interest for this inaugural event by October 7th to admin@artsmansfield.com or call Arts Council of Mansfield organiser Isabel Appleby on 0408 729 355.
Three artists will be drawn from the hat to be part of the event.
Here's how it works...The first event - The Sitting: Thursday 1st November during a 'drinks and nibbles' affair at the Delatite Hotel. Three artists are introduced to the mystery sitter. The artists will begin to 'paint' the sitter's portrait.
The second event - The Revealing: Thursday 13th December which includes a dinner, the three artists return with their artworks which are revealed to the sitter who choses the winner and the artist receives a $2000 prize. The winning portrait then becomes an acquisitive prize by the Mansfield Shire Council and the other two portrait artists each receive $250 and their works go on sale to the public.
At each event local wines and food will be showcased.
Three Faces - Mansfield Portrait Art Prize is proudly sponsored by Mansfield Shire Council, Upper Goulbourn Food Wine & Culture Group, Upper Goulburn Winegrowers Assn. and Alpine Style magazine.
