Last week several members of Argon Law along with our VIP guests attended the official Winners Announcement of the 2023 Sunshine Coast Art Prize. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the talented prize winners and finalists who graced us with their exceptional works from all corners of Australia!

As the Major Sponsors, Argon Law were honoured to have our director, John Gallagher, present the winning prize to Judith Crispin, for her masterpiece, Jenni, in spirit form, watches the first UFOs appear above the West MacDonnell Ranges.
We are fascinated with this piece, especially the process involved using decomposition chemistry. In the coming year, Argon Law will display "Jenni" in a place of prominence within our offices, and we extend an open invitation to you to come and admire this remarkable artwork.
Highly Commended Prize (proudly sponsored by the De Deyne Family) went to Anna Carey with her photography of miniature model artwork You can bring your fantasies to earth.
People's Choice was the eye-catching Paddle Pool by Seabastion Toast, the painting representing a collage of suburban summer memories. This prize was sponsored by the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce.
Finally, the Artist Residency was awarded to Fiona Lowry with her airbrushed In the Colour-Blind Night.
If you haven't yet visited the Caloundra Regional Gallery, you have another week to view the artwork (on display until 15 October). It is an incredible exhibition with a diverse portrayal of subjects in a range of styles, from traditional oils and acrylics to new media and digital compositions.
Our heartfelt congratulations go out to all the talented artists who participated in this event, as well as to the dedicated organisers and curators who made this extraordinary exhibition possible. We eagerly anticipate our continued support for this event in 2024!
