Meroogal Women’s Arts Prize 2008
Historic Houses Trust

ALL GALLERIES

Celebrating the everyday things women do*

Presented in association with the Historic Houses Trust,  The Meroogal Women’s Art Prize is a regional non–acquisitive competition and exhibition across the fields of visual arts, crafts and design.

The theme for the 2008 Meroogal Women’s Arts Prize – Celebrating the everyday things women do – focuses attention on the everyday activities of the Meroogal women, activities to which they gave time and energy and which in return gave them meaning and purpose.
Women artists from the south coast and southern highlands are invited to explore Meroogal and then creatively respond to the theme through the lens of their own lives.

*Theme developed by Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales in collaboration with the Australasian Occupational Science Centre, University of Wollongong
