Special thanks to Robbie Tremain for assisting with videography and Lynne Newport for the wonderful photos on the night.

Thanks also to the many volunteers who helped with installation, staffing and also packing down the exhibition. And to the judges, support teams, and especially the sponsors. We couldn’t do
any of it without you.

Just a little reminder that some artworks have not yet been collected and are now at Nulsen Offices, 32 Burton Street, Cannington for immediate collection.

A mail-out has been sent to all of this year’s artists with a Participation Certificate, so look out for these in your letterbox.

We hope to see you all in 2022 for our 20th year.

Annette and the As We Are team.
