What is the Alumni Art Prize?
Launched in 2014, the College has engaged the services of an alumni each year to create a piece of artwork for Damascus.
The Damascus College Alumni Art Prize offers great exposure for the artist. For 12 months the chosen artwork is prominently displayed in the Mercy Wing Visitor Reception on campus. The artist and artwork are featured in the Damascus publication The Road, and the artwork is shared with the community in the College Newsletter as well as social media sites.
The Alumni Art Project is open to Damascus College Alumni (including past students or staff from Sacred Heart College, St Paul’s College and St Martin’s in the Pines).

The first payment of $500 will be paid upon the signing of the Alumni Art Prize Artists Agreement. The second payment of $1500 will be paid in January after the work has been delivered.
