Whitehaven Coal is partnering with Narrabri Shire Council to deliver the first ever Cyril Knox Art Prize exhibition at The Crossing Theatre in Narrabri beginning Saturday 18 November, with the theme for this year’s prize to be the NAIDOC Week theme “For our Elders”.
The Cyril Knox Art Prize is named in honour of Cyril Knox, a well-known Narrabri local and exceptionally talented Aboriginal artist. The Prize will celebrate his artistic talents and endeavours, while also encouraging emerging Aboriginal artists to follow in his footsteps. The top 10 finalists in each category will have their artworks displayed for the week, with the community invited to come along and experience the artists’ unique talents for themselves.
