University of Melbourne – VCAM: Ariane Jaccarini
Congratulations to both winners of the annual Lowensteins Arts Management Prize of $2,000 each.
I was lucky enough to attend both graduations last week which were a wonderful demonstration of creativity and sophistication. The VCA had a party/festival atmosphere with a DJ, food vans and the run of the whole campus exhibiting 686 works.
It was very heartening to see so many corporations, institutions and individual benefactors that came forward to support the giving of prizes.
It is great to see that philanthropy is alive and well in Melbourne!
