New Juniper prize for Darlington Arts Festival

Lynn GriersonHills Avon Valley Gazette

A traditional highlight of the Darlington Arts Festival is the exhibition of more than 120 artworks on display inside Darlington Hall.

The art show will include works by leading local artists, youth and juniors, along with the inaugural winner of the $10,000 Robert Juniper prize supported by the late artist’s family.

More than 50 landscape paintings, with many from established artists, are among the entries to honour the WA ‘statesman of art’, who lived in Darlington for many years with his wife Trish.
