Spring Sculpture Prize
Since its inception in 2006, the lot19 Spring Sculpture Prize has been a key event in the Central Victorian artistic calendar. Featuring over $8,000 worth of prizes, independent judges and a 3-week exhibition, the prize is beloved by artists and visitors alike.
The opening celebration of the 2024 Spring Sculpture Prize was held on Saturday 12 October, and featured prize-giving, live music from The Jo Huf Duo, the lot19 bar (by Shedshaker Brewing), food (from Castlemaine Fringe) – and of course – ART! Complete list of prize-winners below.
lot19 would like to thank our 2024 Prize Donors: The Anstey Family, Art Supplies Castlemaine, Boomtown Wine, The Bridge Hotel Castlemaine, Tom Chippendall, The Mill Castlemaine, The Salvage Yard, Shedshaker Brewing, Sholto Turner and Theatre Royal Castlemaine.. These prizes were awarded alongside the major lot19 Prize, and in 2024, the newly created Chloe Gunn Memorial Prize for emerging artists. Judges for the 2024 lot19 Spring Sculpture Prize were: Jock Clutterbuck, Laura Woodward and Simone Ewenson.
The exhibition is open weekends, 11am-5pm, until Sunday 27 October at lot19.
