The Judge for this year's Spring Select Exhibition will be Ben Winspear. 

Ben Winspear is a Melbourne based artist who works in both oil and watercolour. His work encapsulates a wide range of subject matter; anything that inspires him at the time. His painting often runs the full spectrum from purely representational through to abstraction – as he seeks to develop a synthesis of both in his own unique and personal visual language to describe the world around him. 

The Spring Exhibition features the Gordon Moffatt AM Spring Prizes for:

• 1st prize, $500
• 2nd prize, $250
• 3rd prize $100
• Sculpture prize $150

Works entered into the VAS Spring Exhibition must not have been previously exhibited at VAS. Digital works will not be included in this exhibition.

A selection process will be undertaken by the VAS Council Select Committee, based on quality, execution and presentation of works. Unsuccessful entrants will be advised of the reasons for not being selected.

All current members of VAS are encouraged to vote in the VAS Spring Exhibition. Votes go towards inclusion in the Mavis Little Artist of the Year Award Exhibition.

The opening event for the VAS Spring Exhibition is on Tuesday 12 September from 7pm.
