The winner of the MA Art Prize at Sydney Contemporary 2024 was emerging First Nations artist Alfred Lowe. The acquisitive prize valued at $10,000 has been established to celebrate and support emerging and early career artists in Australia, and we are delighted for Alfred on this great accomplishment.
Lowe is an Arrernte person from Snake Well in the Central Desert, north of Alice Springs, who now lives and works in Adelaide, practising at APY Studio. His winning work, All dressed up I, 2024, sees a large-scale vessel created using hand built stoneware with sgraffito and raffia.
Lowe was selected by a judging panel comprising Andrew Martin, MA Financial Group, Janna Robertson, MA Financial Group, Amelia Hill, MA Financial Group, Jarrod Rawlins, Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), and Sue Cato, Cato & Clive.
Congratulations Alfred!
