The Parkin Drawing Prize is Aotearoa New Zealand’s premier award for drawing. It promotes drawing in all its forms – as discovery, a testing of ideas, and decision making.
Congratulations to the 2024 winner of the Parkin Drawing Prize.
Ella Jones from Lower Hutt has been announced the winner of the 2024 Parkin Drawing Prize and $25,000 - sponsored by Chris Parkin, arts patron, and philanthropist.
Ella’s winning piece, titled The Visual World is Inexhaustible, is a captivating graphite drawing of 120 paper drawings on graphite interwoven with steel wire that cascades elegantly down a wall. Chosen from a pool of 463 entries nationwide and 77 finalists at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts’ Academy Galleries on Monday, August 5th, this artwork stood out for its striking originality.
