A trio of New Plymouth artists have been selected as finalists in a record-breaking year of entries for a national drawing award. Harry Moores, Briar Tucker and Pantea Rastegari are among 80 hopefuls in the running for the 2021 Parkin Drawing Prize, which has a major prize of $25,000. An advisory panel, consisting of leading painter John Walsh, contemporary ceramics artist Virginia Leonard, and Director of Art at ART+OBJECT auctioneers Ben Plumbly, spent hours assessing hundreds of entries before coming up with the shortlist.
