With a rich history of curating exhibitions and serving on advisory boards, Susi's contributions extend nationally, promoting cultural enrichment and artistic growth within communities.
Art on Show Awards Coordinator, Melissa Broadhurst said, “Many local artists have gained further exhibition and invitation opportunities through guest judges visiting our region, and this connection with Susi Muddiman OAM, and HOTA, on the Gold Coast, is an important step in recognising local artists and shining a light on our regional talent.”
The event offers the opportunity for local, interstate, and nation-wide artists to showcase their creativity with a chance to win the Woollam Art on Show Award valued at $3000, with the total prize purse increased to $12,000!
Since Art on Show’s establishment in June 2006, the event has attracted a combined 6000

Up to 20 leading Mackay Businesses, including major sponsor Woollam, share a commitment to invest in the cultural future of the region, while acknowledging the imagination of talented Australiana artists and directly supporting the art community of Mackay.
