About

Established in 2001, the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize attracts strong support from artists, collectors and critics and is the only national acquisitive prize that showcases the quality and diversity of sculptures of smaller dimensions.

Over 500 entries from national and international artists are received annually and finalists' works are exhibited over a 16 day period at the historic 'Redleaf' Woollahra Council Chambers in Double Bay, Sydney, Australia.

The Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize offers prizes totalling $13,000 including:

• an acquisitive award of $10,000
• The Special Commendation non-acquisitive award of $2,000 and
• The Viewers' Choice, a non-acquisitive award of $1,000.

The 2012 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize Exhibition will be launched on Friday 26 October 2012. The exhibition will be open to the public from 27 October to 11 November.

The broad collection diverges from the witty and visually entertaining to more academic investigations of line, mass & volume...in its entirety, it is an impressive display. Come and see why contemporary sculpture is not only alive and well but thriving as an art form in Australia. - The Sydney Morning Herald
