The John Fries Memorial Prize for emerging and early career visual artists is a non-acquisitive award of $10,000. This annual prize is open to all artists resident in Australia and New Zealand who are not currently studying and whose work is not represented in the collection of an Australian state, territory or national public art gallery. The event is administered by Viscopy/Copyright Agency and the prize has been donated by the Fries family in memory of former Viscopy director and honorary treasurer, John Fries, who made a remarkable contribution to the life and success of Viscopy.
I would like to thank the guest curator Sebastian Goldspink, guest speaker Dr Gene Sherman, Viscopy/Copyright Agency, Gaffa Galleries, and Dr Daniel Mudie Cunningham, Felicity Fenner and Dr Sanné Mestrom for joining me on the judging panel.
