Being awarded the prize is also encouraging and affirming: when you make unusual work it is hard to know if it’s good or just weird, or if it’s worth pursuing at all. I also think that offering a substantial amount of money increases the status of the Drawing Award. In 2017, since the judge was a curator at NGA and bought the work this has led to significant benefits for me: the work will appear in a forthcoming 'Performing Drawing' exhibition at the NGA. There may be a seminar alongside the exhibition and I have been asked to run some workshops relating to the work for the public programs at NGA. Jay Kochel – Joint Winner of the M16 Drawing Prize 2016 Winning the M16 Drawing prize assisted me greatly by raising my profile from a local, Canberra based artist, to a national and even international artist. While this sounds grandiose, having my work recognised immediately led to being invited to participate in a curated exhibition at Mayspace, Sydney. This in turn contributed to me being invited to participate in the Flinders Lane Gallery annual Explorations exhibition for artists having no commercial representation. From this exhibition I sold all my available work to national and international buyers. I also won an exhibition with FLG later this year. I have recently been approached by Mayspace as they have a buyer interested in an edition of my winning M16 work. The money from the M16 prize contributed to a European trip to see the Venice Biennale, Documenta (Kassel and Athens), and the Munster Skulptur Projekte, What can be a small contribution from a sponsor can leverage a lifetime of change for an artist. And I am very grateful. Berenice Carrington – Joint Winner of the M16 Drawing Prize 2016 The immediate feature of the M16 Drawing Prize that attracted me as an artist overseas is that the works are exhibited unframed. All I had to do was send the drawing to Australia from Shetland rolled in a tube. And I could trust the gallery staff to handle my work professionally. So it is a prize that has this lovely quirk of informality that is combined with absolute professionalism. Being selected for the prize felt like an endorsement of my approach to drawing, which is ethnographic and therefore distinct from the current trends in contemporary art. To me this suggests that the prize is an expression of an open-minded institution, where selectors judge each work on its own merits. This is a very Australian characteristic that gives the prize vitality. The award of joint first prize in 2016 was a real treat. Such recognition serves as a public endorsement of my work in two ways. Firstly, it helps me to validate my work in publicity material. And secondly, it reaffirms my continuing identity as an Australian artist, while living and working overseas. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/556d0b07e4b01193234409e0/t/5c6f8236971a18628dc4b129/1550811702635/ M16 ARTSPACE - M16 Art Roadshow Have you ever wondered what that artwork that you found in the garage sale from down the road is actually worth?
