The Geraldton Regional Art Gallery, working in conjunction with the City of Geraldton-Greenough and the Art Gallery of West Australia, has long seen the need for a major art prize exhibition coordinated and staged here in Geraldton-Greenough. As a result, the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery will launch the inaugural Mid West Art Prize Exhibition on 5 March 2011. The exhibition is open to artists throughout Western Australia working in any medium. A strict selection process will be adhered to so as to ensure an exhibition of the highest calibre. Entries will be limited to a maximum of 2 works per artist ensuring a diverse exhibition of broad appeal. Judging will be completed by three independent people from outside of the region who are respected within the arts community.
