Pre-selection and Judging Procedures

Pre-selection Panel

Each year the Organisers will appoint a Pre-selection Panel to review entries.

The Panel will initially review and assess all submissions received, and will decide which works will be invited to exhibit at the Art Show.

The Show Judge(s) may or may not be part of the Pre-selection panel.

All decisions on acceptances are final and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into.

Artists will be notified which of their works have been accepted to be exhibited, prior to the opening of the Show.

Show Judging

Each year the Organisers appoint an external Art Show Judge(s) for the Show.

Judging takes place after the Art Show Submission, Curation, and Acceptance stages are completed.

Our Judge - Faye De Pasquale

Biography

Faye has a teaching background, and has worked more especially with senior secondary art students who are specialising in painting. Over recent years, she has taught adults, and worked privately for art groups and various institutions. This has been a valuable and rewarding experience for her.

She has worked prolifically, and painted whatever has been at hand with great love and devotion. Subjects such as still life, city-scapes and landscapes in a variety of mediums but more so, using the medium of pure watercolour, or watercolour combinations with ink or gouache.

Faye's current art practice shows a pre-occupation with a variety of subjects. Outback Australia continues to hold a fascination and on going connection; the unique landscape, its heightened colour, vast expanses, and patterned forms offer her endless possibilities.

She has spent a number of years in the Mansfield area of Victoria, and is currently based in Lower Plenty, Melbourne. She has exhibited widely in group exhibitions and held a number of solo exhibitions in Melbourne and country Victoria. Her works are represented in private collections here and overseas.
