‘The Calleen Art Award’ was established in 1977 by Mrs Patricia Fagan OAM as an acquisitive art prize to form the Calleen Art Collection which is now the cornerstone of the Cowra Regional Art Gallery’s permanent collection. The ‘Central West Regional Art Award’ was established in 2009 and aims to benefit and provide professional development opportunities for artists based in the Central West region of NSW.
This year 58 finalists were selected from 299 entries received from across Australia. The 2014 Awards Judge was Michael Rolfe CEO, Museums and Galleries of NSW. The winner of the 2014 ‘Calleen Art Award’ was Naomi White from Bardon, a suburb of Brisbane for her work End of Day.
