[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]This year THE BLAKE PRIZE will move to The Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre. The Casula Powerhouse was originally built in 1951 to provide electricity during winter. It closed in 1976 and became derelict until the Liverpool Council restored it as an arts centre in 1994.  It was refurbished again in 2008 and now houses international exhibition space, theatres, studios and artists’ residency spaces.

Join Art & Culture on 16 February for a private guided tour of The 64th Blake Prize, and at the same time enjoy a piece of Sydney’s history.

The Blake Prize takes its name from William Blake, an artist of undoubted genius, who appeared to belong to no school and succeeded in integrating religious and artistic content in his work.  The Prize aims to encourage contemporary artists to create significant works of art which engage in relevant conversations and negotiations.
