John Fries Award 2015 Finalists Exhibition invitation

The 2015 John Fries Award is curated by Oliver Watts, and judged by Justin Paton (curator AGNSW), Nell (artist), Kath Fries (artist), Oliver Watts (guest curator).

The John Fries Award is an annual non-acquisitive award of $10,000 recognising emerging and early career visual artists. Since its start in 2010, it has become a platform for some of the most engaging and experimental works from emerging artists across Australia and New Zealand. The award was established by the Fries family and the Viscopy board, in memory of former Viscopy director and honorary treasurer, John Fries, who made a remarkable contribution to the life and success of the organisation.
