Blake Prize

The Blake Society currently has two types of support programs that provide opportunities for individuals to:

•  Explore art, poetry, religion and spirituality

• Contribute to Australia’s cultural diversity

The Society hosts a range of events each year for members and friends to meet artists, poets and experience and contribute to the Blake conversation.

The Blake Friends

Support from The Blake Friends goes towards developing public program events held during annual Blake Prize Exhibition and education resource materials for the Blake Prize Touring Exhibition.  This year, our Friends will have the opportunity to enjoy a series of special events including exhibition and prize previews, artist talks and the annual Blake Salon dinner.
