2021 Alumni Art Prize Winner
16 February
We are thrilled to announce that the 2021 Alumni Artist is Dr Maria Stratford, Class of 1974. The calibre and number of entries received for 2021 was larger and better than ever. Entries included works using diverse mediums including etched and painted glass, paintings, illustrations, photographs and digital art. After careful consideration, and a tough deliberation the winning piece was chosen by the Damascus College Leadership team.
Maria’s piece is a Photograph on Archival Paper that depicts an Ethiopian Priest holding a bible showing the Madonna and Child.
Launched in 2014, this project seeks to engage Damascus College Alumni (including past students/staff from our foundation colleges Sacred Heart, St Paul’s and St Martin’s in the Pines) in the Damascus community through producing a piece of art that explores the school’s motto ‘To Live By the Light of Christ’.
Maria’s art will be on display in the visitor reception at Damascus College for the duration of 2021 and if you are on campus we hope you pop in to see it and read her artists statement.
Entries are now open for the 2022 Alumni Art Prize. Full details and the entry form can be found at https://www.damascus.vic.edu.au/.../alumni/alumni-art-prize
