Wallace Art Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wallace Art Awards was an annual visual arts award ceremony in New Zealand, established in 1992[1] and running until 2021. Their goal was to "support, promote and expose contemporary New Zealand art and artists".[2][1]

History

[edit]

The awards were established by James Wallace in 1992. Awards were made for contemporary painting, sculpture and photography and were run by the James Wallace Charitable Arts Trust.[3][4] By 2021 the prizes offered were valued at more than NZ$275,000 and included the offer of artists' residencies overseas.[5] The New Zealand Herald described the list of award recipients as "an arts world who's who".[5][6]

The 2018 awards were presented by the Rt Hon Dame Patsy Reddy at the Pah Homestead, Auckland on 3 September 2018.[7][8] In 2020, the trust did not offer residencies as prizes and instead offered cash equivalent prizes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][10]

The awards were cancelled in 2021, with the James Wallace Charitable Arts Trust announcing that it was "refreshing" its strategic plan.[5] In 2023, when Wallace's 2021 conviction for sexual offending was made public, it was reported that the trust had ended its relationship with Wallace and been renamed The Arts House Trust.[5]
