Tammy Kingsley Award
 Tammy
Kingsley, an American, came to Alice Springs
in 1979 and worked energetically for the Alice Springs Art Foundation,
keenly promoting the Alice Prize.
In 1980 Tammy, her youngest son and his friend were killed in
an horrific road accident.
In the year 2000, the Foundation received word of a very generous
bequest from an American, George J Scott (Tammy's father).
The Tammy Kingsley Award honours a woman who was inspirational
in the long history of the Alice Prize and honours also our
benefactor who has provided the means of reinvigorating the
Prize itself.

Residency
2002 - Merilyn Fairskye
Merilyn
Fairskye, winner of the 31st Alice Prize, took up residency in
July 2002. In between "going everywhere and seeing everything".
Merilyn met many local artists and gave a stimulating talk.
"I would like to express my deepest thanks to the Alice Springs
Art Foundation for giving me the opportunity to spend a month
in Alice Springs in July. The residency was a fantastic opportunity
for me, and exceeded all my expectations about the experience
of being in Alice Springs, as well as my projections as to what
might come from it in terms of my work".
"The residency in Alice Springs in its own way is as interesting,
and as rewarding, as any of the overseas studios I have had in
the past."

and video artist from Sydney
