With sincere appreciation, we thank Ron Talbot for his generous sponsorship of the $10,000 Talburac Art Prize, celebrating creativity and legacy.

 

The Talburac Art Prize is proudly supported by Ron Talbot, a founding member of Hoop Gallery and a passionate advocate for creativity, community, and lifelong learning. A dedicated artist with over 25 years in the arts, Ron has consistently championed opportunities for others in the creative sector.

Named after ‘Talburac’—the cherished rural property he shared with his late wife, Andre—this prize honours their shared belief in the transformative power of art. Their life together at Talburac was defined by curiosity, courage, and a love of creating. Andre’s inspiring spirit and creative drive continue to shape this meaningful legacy.

The award reflects the ongoing support of Ron, Andre and the Talbot family in supporting artists to strive for excellence and share their dynamic, innovative artworks – now and into the future – so the community can celebrate their talent and be inspired through the ‘Talburac Art Prize’ exhibitions at Hoop Gallery.
