Omnia Art Prize would not exist without the generosity of the Omnia Art Convenors who have led the Omnia Art Committee and shaped the prize and exhibition, year after year, since its founding. Their tireless work behind the scenes has turned a simple idea into a beloved fixture of our community’s cultural life.
We especially want to honour Mrs Audrey Culliver, who established the prize in 1971 and served as its first convenor. Her vision and dedication laid the foundation for everything that has followed, and it’s fitting that the Audrey Culliver People’s Choice Award now carries her name as a lasting tribute to the spirit of generosity and community she brought to the role.
To every convenor who has given their time and passion to Omnia Art Prize over the years: thank you.
