Carstairs Prize Open for Applications

2018 recipient Torika Bolatagici “Black Tourmaline” presented by The Community Reading Room

The NAVA Carstairs Prize aims to support socially engaged art projects that embrace participatory and collaborative experiences, bring participants into active dialogue with the artist(s) in order to involve audiences beyond the art community. The prize is intended to contribute to artwork production costs to assist the successful applicant(s) to develop and present new work.

This is a new program supported by the donor of the previous Carstairs Residency Prize. Named after the Carstairs, the prize drew its name from an intriguing and eccentric blend of writers, poets, painters, pianists, and illustrators who immigrated to Australia from Fife, Scotland in the 19^thcentury.

Funding Available: One individual or group will be awarded $3,000 + GST
