History of Albury Art Prize
Starting in 1947, the Albury Art Prize is now New South Wales' oldest municipal art award.
Over its 62 year history, a substantial number of major works have been acquired by internationally renowned artists such as Noel Counihan, Fred Cress, Robert Jacks, Louis Kahan, Deborah Klein, Daniel Moynihan and Imants Tillers.
The first Albury Art Prize in 1947 was judged by Daryl Lindsay, Director of the National Gallery of Victoria. Two works were purchased for the AlburyCity Collection, Geelong Pier by Charles Bush and Fishing Boats Tasmania by John Loxton.
