The Mandorla Art Award is Australia's most significant thematic Christian

interpreted the theme 'Elijah meets God' in figurative and abstract forms
through various media.
Artworks featured in the exhibition are available for purchase and visitors
are invited to vote for their favourite work in the Peoples Choice Award.
Free exhibition tours, starting at 3pm, will also be held on the weekends
(19 and 20 July, 26 and 27 July).
In partnership with the New Norcia Museum & Art Gallery, several major
eighteenth century European paintings from the New Norcia Art collection
will be on display at Linton & Kay during the Mandorla Art Award exhibition,
shown in Perth for the first time.
A selection of Mandorla Art Award artworks will then be exhibited at the New
Norcia Museum and Art Gallery from 2 to 17 August 2014.
Dates: 18 July 2014 to 27 July 2014.
