Winners of the City of Bayswater Community Art Awards were announced at an exhibition opening at The RISE on Saturday 2 November. The City received 176 entries this year across eleven categories, including a new photography category.
Bayswater Mayor Dan Bull said the City continued to be impressed by the calibre of entries year on year.
"The Community Art Awards are a long-standing tradition in Bayswater and we are consistently blown away by the level of creative talent that exists in our community.
“Council prides itself on fostering art and culture within our local community. The ability to express and celebrate our creativity, identity and history is integral to our cultural identity. It is one of the reasons so many people chose to visit, work and live here.
"I would like to congratulate the winners and everyone who submitted entries in this year's Community Art Awards. Thank you to members of Bayswater Art Society and Ellis House Community Arts Centre who volunteered to oversee the exhibition, the judges Alex Maciver and Sharon Tassicker and to curator Leo Flavel of Studio 281.
Congratulations to the winners:
