Sculptures and the Spirit of the Land Festival
In 2006 the Spirit of the Land Lockhart Festival was born and farmers were encouraged to use their skills to enter a farm art sculpture competition. The Festival has grown over this time to attract high calibre artists nation wide. The Spirit of the Land committee is once again calling artists throughout Australia to participate in the Spirit of the Land Art Festival 2022, with a prize pool of over $20,000.
National Farm Art Sculpture Award
The National Farm Art Sculpture Award is a $10,000 award.
The National Farm Art Sculpture Award is for sculptures that showcase and capture the uniqueness of the Australian landscape, flora, fauna, and lifestyle of living on the land. These sculptures must be created predominantly from metal and represent the art form “farm art”. The re-use of old machinery and equipment is encouraged. We invite you and your associates to participate in this non-acquisition award. First prize in the National Farm Art Sculpture Award receives $10,000 prize money, with their art work remaining their own property.
