The ‘Fleurieu Biennale Art Prize’ is a non-acquisitive South Australian award for two and three-dimensional artworks. Artists were invited to respond to the theme ‘A Sense of Place’.
We congratulate South Australia-based artists James Tylor & Laura Wills who have been awarded the 2018 prize. The duo are the recipients of the $25,000 award for their collaborative artwork Hidden Landscapes: Kangaroo Island.
