Director of Ray White Belconnen, Sam Faulks, says, “The creation of this award allows us to further our community involvement through our partnership with Belconnen Arts Centre and is close to our directors’ hearts as the three of us attended two of the participating schools.”

Daramalan, Dickson, Gungahlin, Hawker, Radford, St Francis Xavier Colleges, Burgmann Anglican School, Melba-Copland Secondary School – Copland College and UC Secondary College Lake Ginninderra have participated.

The exhibition is presented throughout all the exhibition spaces in Belconnen Arts Centre. The Ray White Belconnen Art Prize will be awarded at the exhibition opening this  Friday, December 13 at 5:30pm and the People’s Choice award can be voted for throughout the exhibition.
