Doug Moran National Portrait Prize
For over 30 years the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize (DMNPP) has encouraged both excellence and creativity in contemporary Australian portraiture by asking artists to interpret the look and personality of a chosen sitter.

Ruth Downes Barely Wearable:

Exhibition dates: 12 March - 26 April NOW extended until 14 June 2020
This body of work is a continuation of Ruth Downes’ passion for re-appropriating everyday materials and objects to celebrate their intrinsic beauty.

Matthew Mallia: Fictional Memories

'Not art for art's sake, not drawing fro drawing's sake, but also, not deep meaningful messages. Just fun thoughts, memories.'
