Winner Of Inside This Box Art Prize 2024 Ynja Bjornsson

I am absolutely thrilled to announce the winner of our 2024 Inside This Box Art Prize Ynja Bjornsson for her work Net One Purl Two. This is the first time I’ve ever come across Ynja’s work and I was instantly mesmerised. Choosing a winner from 98 incredible artworks is obviously extremely difficult and I agonised over the decision for days. But in the end I took the advice I always give my clients, go with your first gut instinct. This is the work I just kept coming back to, It has stuck in my mind and for all the right reasons. It’s unusual, unique, great skill has been shown and the title is catchy and funny. I’m always on the lookout for new and unique artworks and this year, Ynja’s work was absolutely it. Congratulations Ynja on this magnificent work and a huge thank you to our generous sponsors Rowlee Wines who are giving away $1000 cash to Ynja.

Ana Anderson: Winner Of Our Mini Series Art Prize 2021

The Corner Store Gallery is absolutely thrilled to announce the winner of our 2021 Mini Series Art Prize Ana Anderson!!!

Our three judges Lucy Stranger (Curator of Orange Regional Gallery), Angela Malone (local artist and educator) and Corner Store Gallery Director Madeline Young had a seriously difficult task deciding the winner with so many fantastic finalists. Artists were invited to create a small body of work which would in theory give us a “preview” of what their solo exhibition would be. The judges felt Ana’s series was diverse as well as consistent across all three works. We all agreed that Ana’s series of work was absolutely beautiful, unique, conceptually strong, consistent, great quality and most deserving our top prize! Ana has won a rent-free solo exhibition with The Corner Store Gallery in 2022 and we hope to further her promising career as a visual artist!
