29 JULY - 26 SEPTEMBER 2010
THE 58TH BLAKE PRIZE FOR RELIGIOUS ART
The Blake Prize for Religious Art is one of the more prestigious art prizes in Australia. For 58 years it has been awarding a prize for works of art that explore the subject of religious awareness and spirituality. Unlike other art prizes that are awarded for distinct subject areas such as landscape or portraiture, the Blake has always invited a much more open, personal and idiosyncratic response, so much so that it has earned the criticism, ire and sometimes applause of critics and the public alike.
It is a $20,000 annual non-acquisitive prize. This year there is also a new category, the Blake Prize for Human Justice.
The Blake Prize is awarded by the Blake Society Ltd in partnership with the National Art School. The Prize is named after the artist and writer William Blake.
