“This year, more than ever, we have needed our arts community to bring joy and inspiration to our lives,” he said.

“The impact the pandemic has had on the arts community has been enormous in terms of income loss which is why this year’s Burwood Art Prize is particularly significant.

“Congratulations to all the artists who entered our 2020 Burwood Art Prize. You have created artworks that will inspire, provoke and engage our community for many years to come.”

The winners and all entrants artwork’s will on public exhibition from 16 November – 27 November in the Burwood Library and Hub during Burwood Library operational hours.
