Celebrating our sponsors

The Shire of Harvey Art Prize would not be possible without the generous support of our valued sponsors.

We extend our sincere thanks to Alcoa, Tronox, the Rotary Club of Harvey and Treendale Farm Hotel for their continued commitment to supporting arts and culture in the Harvey Region. Community partnerships like these play an important role in ensuring events such as the Art Prize continue to thrive.

The Shire of Harvey greatly appreciates the ongoing support of these organisations in helping celebrate and promote the region’s artistic talent.
