Since its inception in 1998, the Biennale has grown to become a national visual arts festival which provides, as the cornerstone of the event, Australia's richest prize for landscape painting, the Fleurieu Art Prize, offering $50,000 to the winning artist.

It seems appropriate that the most significant prize for landscape art in Australia be centered in the Fleurieu Peninsula, a region which, with its striking vistas and extraordinary geological formations, has long been both a home and a source of inspiration for some of Australia's most important landscape artists.

“Since its inception in 1998 the Fleurieu Biennale has grown to be a highlight on South Australia’s arts calendar, celebrating the enduring importance and the contemporary significance of landscape painting in the Australian art world.

Your contribution will assist us to ensure that the 2008 event will continue this high standard and help make a lasting impression on the artistic landscape.

The generous support of people like you makes it possible for this largely privately funded event to continue.”
