our artists on the day. All attendees had the opportunity to vote for their favourite artwork for the People’s Choice Award. First prize went to Susan and her piece “She is Strong” and second place went to Bharti for her handmade clay ornamental bird hanging. The prize for Favourite Artist went to digital remix artist Quillum and Tenant Engagement staff Alex and Amy were thrilled to award
a Packer’s Prize to Hodette for her amazing book art installation (see more about Hodette on page 6). We were honoured to award the 2023 Dean Baylis Memorial Prize to two amazing artists - woodworker and pyrography expert Ben (see cover) and 19-year-old photographer Lilli. This special prize honours the life and work of one of our tenant artists who passed away in 2021. Dean’s mum Ursula raised funds
from the sale of Dean’s art to donate to Housing Choices for the award. Ursula, who attended the art show, selected winners based on which artist she thought had captured Dean’s spirit. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year’s art show, it continues to be an event that brings so much joy to our artists, staff, and our broader tenant community.
