Art Express Award

The Dobell Art Foundation was a Founding Sponsor of Art Express during its formative years.

ARTEXPRESS is an annual exhibition featuring a selection of outstanding student artworks developed for the practical component of the HSC examination in Visual ¬¬Arts including ceramics, collected works, documented forms, drawing, graphic design, painting, photo media, printmaking, sculpture, textiles and fibre, and time-based forms.

For more than twenty years the Foundation gave an annual award for Excellence in Teaching to a Visual Arts faculty in a secondary school in NSW. Our financial support for Art Express ceased in 2022.
