Announcement of Awards
Tolarno Hotel Award for Painting — For 18 years Tolarno Hotel in St Kilda has supported Painting Students from the RMIT School of Art. The $1000 award has greatly benefited our students and exposed the work of our graduates to a wide audience. Award winning works enter the Tolarno Hotel Fine Art Collection and paintings by graduates are displayed throughout the hotel. The School of Art acknowledges the generous support of Mr Jim Fagan and Mr Bernard Corser.
The Wayne Conduit Memorial Prize — This prize, awarded annually for an outstanding work by a Drawing, Painting or Video student, is in the memory of our friend and School of Art colleague, Artist: Wayne Conduit — in celebration of his inspirational teaching and support offered to students for many years within the School of Art.
Fundraising by students and staff from Drawing, Painting and Video studios and the RMIT community have formed the core of the prize. The prize has since been established within the RMIT Philanthropy Fund.
