The Molly Morpeth Canaday 3D Award has been established as a biennial event to encourage and recognise the quality of creativity found in the area of three-dimensional applied arts. Artists working in sculpture, applied arts, craft or within a three-dimensional focused practice are invited to enter.
These awards have been made possible through the generous support of the Molly Morpeth Canaday Trust, established by Frank Canaday in memory of his wife, Molly Morpeth Canaday. The trust has been a major supporter of the arts in Whakatāne for over 25 years, and Whakatāne Museum and Arts would like to extend its thanks for the trust’s continuing support.
