where art and heritage meet

Artgeo is proud to present the Shire of Busselton Annual Acquisitive Art Prize for 2009.

This year's judge was Dr David Bromfield.  He has chosen to present the following artists with these awards:

	Artist
	Marina Troitsky Displacement Joint Prize Winner - Acquired by the Shire of Busselton
	Laurie Posa Red Tail Cockatoo (vanishing habitat) Joint Prize Winner - acquired by the Shire of Busselton

	Roger Paine Reflections Highly Commended sponsored by Bay Signs
	Thomas Heidt Constructive Interference Highly Commended sponsored by Bay Signs
	Simon Collins At First There Was a Sunset... And Then There Was Us Highly Commended - sold sponsored by Busselton Machining and Diesels

We would like to congratulate all the winners and point out that only the joint prize winning pieces were acquired by the shire which leaves 43 other excellent pieces still available for purchase.

This years theme has been really well interpreted by the exhibiting artists.  We asked them  "how have our urban instincts impacted on our environmental harmony in the South West?"  Our intention was to encourage artists to extend their creative boundaries and explore local environmental themes.

This exhibition would not have been possible without the support of the following local businesses:

• Pro Busselton
• Busselton Toyota
• More Cafe
• Equinox Cafe
• Busselton Machining and Diesel
• Bay Signs
• Precision Print
• Busselton Dunsborough Times
• Satterley Property Developers

And the Shire of Busselton
