Blayney Art Prize Update 

A very big congratulations to Matilda Byrnes who received a Highly Commended award at the Blayney Art Prize this year. Matilda’s artwork Dandelions was one of two winners in the 7-year-old category. 

We look forward to entering artworks again next year when the theme will be ‘Happiness.’

Well done, Matilda!
