Homelessness Week has now passed, and the winners of the Art Space 2021 People’s Choice Award have been selected.
Visitors to the Art Space were encouraged to vote for up to five of their favourite artworks in an online survey.
Congratulations to Wintringham artists, Jen for her winning pieceCherry Tree, the runner-up was actually a tie between two artworks;Bird in the Foliage andOcean view from Williamstown, and it just so happens that both these pieces were painted by the same artist - Garry! And congratulations to Nola, who was our lucky winning voter. Jen, Garry, and Nola have each been awarded aMelbourne Artists’ Supplies voucher for their efforts.
The fifteen winning pieces for next year’s calendar and this year’s Christmas cards were announced on Wintringham’s social media channels throughout Homelessness Week and can be viewed here.
