Sally's "Awaba Street, Mosman" has been selected for the Salon Des Refuses: The Alternative Archibald
and Wynne Prize Selection - the alternative selection from the hundreds of entries to the Archibald
and Wynne Prizes.
Each year, guest selectors go behind the scenes of the Art Gallery of NSW to select the exhibition.
The Salon has an excellent reputation, and is often cited as more interesting than the "official"
exhibition. The criteria for works selected are quality, diversity, humour and experimentation and
cover such themes as contemporary art practices, different approaches to portraiture and artist's
responses to the landscape.
The exhibition is presented at the SH Ervin Gallery and will open on saturday 31st March 2012 and will
run through to 20th May 2012.
Please go to www.nationaltrust.com.au/placestovisit/ for more information on the gallery and the
exhibition.
