ANL Art Prize

Since 2002 the Mission to Seafarers Victoria art prize has exhibited the work of over 700 artists and fast become recognized as Australia’s leading maritime art award. Prize money awarded to date has exceeded $119,000 and the organisation has raised approximately $180,000 toward the provision of seafarers’ welfare services in Victoria.

Now known as the ANL Maritime Art Prize & Exhibition, the award was introduced to promote excellence in maritime and seafaring subjects in art; to raise the profile of the 1.5 million merchant seafarers responsible for transporting more than 90 per cent of the products and produce traded globally and to attract support for the work of the Mission to Seafarers.

Global efforts to improve conditions for seafarers are constant ,as has been the provision of welfare services by the MTSV since 1857 in the Port of Melbourne. The ANL Art Prize is an important event made possible with thanks to naming rights sponsor ANL, corporate sponsors, the contributing artists and the individuals who give their time and expertise to curate, judge and select the works.

All works exhibited are for sale and pay a 33% commission toward supporting seafarers’ welfare.

Entries close Monday 5th September, 2011.
This year the exhibition is open for public viewing from 7th – 23rd October, 2011 at the historic seafarers centre at 717 Flinders Street, Docklands from 12 noon – 7pm Wednesday – Sunday.
