WHISKY producer, William Grant & Sons, has just announced the launch of an art prize with a difference—the inaugural Glenfiddich Artists in Residence competition.
One very happy Australian artist will have the opportunity to live and work for three months at the Glenfiddich distillery in Dufftown, Scotland.
Glenfiddich is running the Artists in Residence contest in partnership with Sydney Contemporary 2015, Australasia’s International Art Fair, and taking place at Carriageworks from September 10 until 13 where, wouldn’t you know it, guests will be able to view the final five artist’s work at the Glenfiddich pop-up bar.
The contest is an open call to all Australian artists who are welcome to use any array of mediums with the competition open from June 1 to July 31 this year.
Finalists will be announced on August 10th and the winner will be announced on September 18 and the judging panel, like the whisky, is a star turn — Rachel Griffiths, former Sydney Lord Mayor Lucy Turnbull, Sue Cato & Nick Tobias.
