It is structured as a community event in partnership with the University of Western Sydney and SIFE, and will attract a wide audience and high profile participants to the Hawkesbury region, embracing the cultural and economic environment of the region.
The opening night will take place on Saturday 19th November 2011 at 6:00pm, and will be officially opened by the Hon, John Brown. The awarding of prizes will also take place. For more information on this art prize go to www.purplenoongallery.com.au
