December 4 2010 – January 26 2011

Opening Friday December 3, 6pm

The Tidal award is hosted by the Devonport Regional Gallery and funded through the Devonport City Council and the DRG Friends Committee. The national award is open to artists whose 2D work in any medium, represents a response to our contemporary relationship and connection to the sea, coastal regions and communities.

 

Once a non-acquisitive award, Tidal is now acquisitive with an increase in the Major Award from $10 000 to $15 000. There is no longer a Tasmanian Award, however the People's Choice Award remains at $1 000.
