Another Good Reason to Visit the South Coast
With great food and wine on offer, not to mention magnificent scenery, there are loads of reasons to visit the Fleurieu Peninsula. This weekend there’s another reason to head out of town – the announcement of the prestigious Fleurieu Art Prize winner on October 26 and official opening of the works to the public on October 27.
With a main prize of $60,000, the Fleurieu Art Prize is the most significant landscape painting prize worldwide.
BankSA is a proud sponsor of the event. A festival has been built up around it comprising a rich combination of fine art, great wine, fine food and beautiful vistas of McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Peninsula as the finalists of the Fleurieu Art Prize are exhibited in wineries and galleries throughout the region during November.
