Waverley Mayor, John Wakefield, said helping emerging artists is one of the most important legacies of the Waverley Art Prize.
“We have many talented artists and writers who live and work in our community, and artistic expression is part of the fabric that makes us who and why Waverley Council support initiatives that increase our community’s participation and access to the arts,” Mayor Wakefield said.
Waverley Woollahra Art School was formed in 1968 by a group of artists who wanted a place to work and share their skills with the community.
“It continues to thrive today, and that’s testament to the Board, administrative staff and the many tutors who inspire and teach daily, ensuring that the school continues to fulfil this incredible role,” Mayor Wakefield said.
