This is the inaugural Angels In Our Town Art Prize which will be fondly called “The Angel”. Angels in Our Town is a cultural community event acknowledging and celebrating our first responders, volunteers and service organisations — the Angels in our Town. Held in the towns and villages of the Southern Highlands.

The Angels On Our Town Art Prize is a non-acquisitive art prize awarded by Angels In Our Town (AIOT) in partnership with The Pop-Up Project.

All finalists' works will be for sale and a minimum of 30% commission donation will go towards supporting the work of AIOT, supporting and recognising first responders and volunteers in our community.

Exhibition Open: Friday 29 November 2024 through to Wednesday 29 January 2025
