Judges

The Paddington Art Prize is grateful for the generous support of our panel of judges. Members of the panel are selected each year from a broad range of art disciplines and are recognised for their own outstanding achievement in arts related fields. We would like to take this opportunity to recognise their commitment to supporting and promoting the Australian art's community.
