Meroogal Women’s Art Prize 2024
The biennial Meroogal Women’s Art Prize is now in its 20th year
Women artists from across NSW are invited to submit works, in any medium, that respond to the historic house of Meroogal, its former occupants, and its meaning within broader historical and contemporary contexts. Selected artworks will be displayed and photographed throughout the property, located in Nowra on the NSW South Coast. The works provide new perspectives on the personal stories of the people who once lived there, and the rich collection of objects that are still contained within the house.
The Meroogal Women’s Art Prize is a regional, non-acquisitive competition and exhibition. It is open to a work in any medium made by a woman aged 18 years or over who is a resident of NSW.
Artworks selected for the exhibition will be on display to the public from Saturday 9 November 2024 to Saturday 24 May 2025.
