In conjunction with the Lane Cove Council, Centrehouse has been organising the Eve Vonwiller Youth Art Awards since 1995. These awards have been supporting and recognising the creative talents of 5 - 17 year olds throughout Sydney's North Shore and are dedicated to the memory of Eve Vonwiller, an inspiring and passionate art teacher who taught formany years at Centrehouse, initiating the recognition of the Youth Art Awards. 

Children and teenagers are invited to submit works of painting, drawing, printmaking, photography and sculpture inspired by a theme relating to living inthis special local and global community.

This year's theme is "Living in a Diverse Community". 

Each year the Awards are judged by a generous group of local artists and in 2009, the Awards were judged by the renowned local artist, Bernhardine Mueller and the current President of the Lane Cove Art Society, Chrissie Lloyd. We will announce judges for 2010 soon!

The artworks are submitted and judged in three sections:

    Section One: Lower Primary (Kindy- Year 2)

    Section Two: Upper Primary (Year 3 -  Year 6)

    Section Three: High School (Year 7 - Year 12)

There are great prize packs of art materials donated by Eckersley's Art & Craft to be won in each section. In 2010 we are very excited to announce that there will be a futher $300 cash prize for the winner of the High School section.

All are welcome to support the creativity of the local youth by attending the opening night and award ceremony on Monday 13 September from 5.30pm, at the Lane Cove Council Building
