Meroogal Women’s Art Prize 2020
The biennial Meroogal Women’s Art Prize exhibition is now in its 18th year.
Inspired by our 2020 themes of community, connection and impact, we’re delighted to be celebrating the achievements and creativity of female artists across NSW. The prize pays tribute to the four generations of women from the Thorburn and Macgregor families who lived at Meroogal in Nowra for almost 100 years.
Artists across NSW were invited to create works that respond to Meroogal and its sense of place. In their selection of finalists from hundreds of entries, our judges looked for artworks that cast new light on the stories of the people who lived here, and the house’s rich and diverse collection of treasures.
The work of the 40 finalists was exhibited in the historic house of Meroogal from 19 September 2020 until 17 April 2021.
