The Gallipoli Art Prize
On the weekend after Anzac Day 2012, there was a tiny notice in the SMH about the Gallipoli Art Prize and an exhibition of the entrants at the Gallipoli Club in Loftus St near Circular Quay. We went to see the paintings, and there’s not much I to add since they say so much. We were the only visitors there that Sunday, which made us sad because every Australian should see these.
