In collaboration with St Columba Anglican School (SCAS) Art Department the P&F will be hosting the inaugural SCAS Art Prize & Exhibition to support, collaborate and engage stakeholders within the school and our local community on the mid north coast. The purpose of the exhibition is to inspire excellence, collaborate with local artists and give students and the community the opportunity to showcase their achievements and immerse themselves in the arts.

The SCAS Art Prize is themed: FUTUREPROOF. Showcasing works across a range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, screen, textiles and photography. This year the entries will be judged by 3 vastly different yet creative minds: Skye Petho, Claire Johnson and Tim Kallimer a lover of the arts and also a very long term teacher at SCAS. The night will be hosted by James Marley from Livewire, and father of students who attend SCAS.

Date: Friday 29th August 2026

Time: 6-9pm

Location: 3 Iona Ave, Iona Performing Arts Centre, Port Macquarie

Ticket: $60 (includes drinks and canapés)

The St Columba music department will provide background music, whilst the SCAS circus performers will woo the audience with their mesmerizing performances.

There will be local mid north coast artists exhibiting at the event. Most works exhibited at the exhibition are for sale.

We look forward to celebrating the arts on the mid north coast with you.
