The Fleurieu Biennale began in 1998 and has since grown into an event that has won recognition both nationally and internationally. The Fleurieu Art Prize 2011 will be the seventh prize awarded since its inception offering a total prize pool of $90,000.
Encouraging the arts in McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Peninsula
The Fleurieu Art Prize, the World's richest Landscape Art Prize, exists for the purpose of promoting and encouraging the arts in McLaren Vale & Fleurieu Peninsula and aligning the arts with the wine, food and tourism industries of the region in an international setting.
It is appropriate that the most significant prize for landscape art in Australia is centered in McLaren Vale & Fleurieu Peninsula, which is a region famous for its striking vistas and extraordinary geological formations. The area has long been the home and a source of inspiration for some of Australia's most important landscape artists.
The event has a strong focus in McLaren Vale renowned for its beauty, fine food, appreciation of art and as a producer of high quality wine. The community has demonstrated strong support for the event and many of the foundation sponsors are McLaren Vale Wineries.
The Fleurieu Art Prize attracts entries from artists of a national reputation and is supported by internationally significant judges.
