Earlier this month, artist Zoe Grey was awarded the 2024 Hadley’s Art Prize. It was not only affirmation for the artist in her late twenties, but its $100,000 winnings will allow her to build a new studio – further entrenching her commitment to making in Tasmania.
Speaking with Grey, ArtsHub learns she will use her prize winnings to build a studio in the remote town of Marrawah – six hours from Hobart on the north-west coast – effectively making her studio practice more “isolated”.
