John Fries Memorial Prize

The John Fries Memorial Prize is an award of $10,000 and a solo exhibition at Viscopy's contemporary art space, Blackfriars off Broadway. This annual prize is open to all artists resident in Australia whose work is not represented in the collection of  a regional, state, territory or national public art gallery. Artists of all ages and disciplines, whether members of Viscopy or not, are eligible to enter.

The prize has been donated by the Fries family in memory of former Viscopy director and honorary treasurer, John Fries, who made a remarkable contribution to the life and success of Viscopy.

Entries open in April each year and the winner is announced at an exhibition of the finalists’ work in August.

Please note that entries for the 2010 John Fries Memorial Prize have closed.
