We are delighted to announce the two talented artists selected for ArtScreen 2022 are Dani Pearce and Demon Derriere.

Each artist will create new video artworks which explore themes of identity, access and social connectedness to be screened at the the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in December 2022. They will each receive $11,500 in grant funding toward the production of their work and undertake a professional mentorship with experienced video artist Dr Zanny Begg.

We are delighted to announce M. Sunflower as the winner of the George’s River Council Art Competition 2022. Her work ‘Rainbow Wildflowers’ has been selected for use in the design of Georges River Council’s Disability Inclusion and Action Plan.

“If you look into the history of abstraction, it always seems to rise when the world is in turmoil. Using colour and abstract mark making, I transmute the present moment of pain into a pathway towards future regeneration,” say M. Sunflower.

Georges River Council is seeking submissions of existing artwork from artists across NSW with disability or who are d/Deaf.

One artwork will be selected for use in the design of Georges River Council’s Disability Inclusion and Action Plan and the chosen artist will receive $2000.

Artworks can be submitted across a range of disciplines and styles but must be 2D work.
