Winners – Bishop Richard Umbers Lenten Art Competition

A message from Benjamin multimedia journalist from the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney:

Congratulations on your well deserved success and achievement. Working hard together as a team with one vision truly wins in the end. Excellent work! Your hard work has truly paid off Mrs Landas.

I run the Connect Newsletter for the Archdiocese of Sydney, I wanted to reach out and thank you and your students for your entry in the Bishop Richard Umbers Lenten Art Competition. Bishop Umbers and his team were very impressed! It is an incredible work and far more than we were expecting to receive in this competition.

 

With that in mind I don’t think a single $50 voucher would be a proper recognition of the work the artists at Marist Sisters’ have done, and I would like to find a way to properly recognise the efforts of you and your students.  I am in contact with the Bishop’s office and in discussion with my editor at the Archdiocese about how we might be able to do that.

 

In the meantime I would ask you to pass on the sincere thanks of myself and the Bishop to the students. Please congratulate them on a fantastic artwork and assure them that their efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Artists’ Statement

Every stroke of the brush was placed with careful reflection and consideration. This collaborative installation artwork is commemorating Jesus Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Symbolism displayed reflects  our community, in prayer, and almsgiving. Always and forever.

Good luck Year 10 students!
