Shaun Tan Award for Young Artists 2016 - Winner Announced

Congratulations to the very talented James Mahaffy (6.1S) who won first prize in the Upper Primary category of the Shaun Tan Award for Young Artists 2016. James' artwork will be on display as part of the Award Exhibition in Subiaco Library until 14 August.

At the Opening Night presentation evening Perth-born Shaun Tan, who instigated this prestigious award to encourage Young Artists, inspired us with his witty, insightful views. To the clever young artists, his message was: "You must keep making Art". I can highly recommend a visit to this exhibition to experience awesome Art, and for the opportunity to vote for your favourite piece in the Peoples' Choice Award.
