Congratulations to Sally Anderson who is a finalists in the 2024 Portia Geach Memorial Award with her work ‘Self and still life (shared garden, future nurture)'.
The Award was established by the will of the late Florence Kate Geach in memory of her sister, Portia Geach. Sometimes referred to as the female Archibald Prize, the Portia Geach Memorial Memorial Award is a non-acquisitive award of $30,000 given annually “… for the best portraits painted from life of some man or woman distinguished in Art, Letters or the Sciences by any female artist resident in Australia during the twelve months preceding the closing date for entries”. The Portia Geach Memorial Award seems an appropriate legacy and ensures that, over fifty years after her death, women artists in Australia are encouraged and supported in their endeavours.
Finalists exhibition will be held at the S.H Ervin Gallery, 25 October – 15 December 2024, Sydney
