The Spirit of Giving Back

The Radford College Foundation was proud to sponsor the Emerging Artist Award at this year’s Parent & Friends Artshow@Radford, celebrating creativity and innovation within our vibrant arts community.

This sponsorship reflects the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to nurturing young talent and giving back to the community that supports us. By investing in emerging artists, we not only help build their confidence and profile, but also contribute to the cultural enrichment of our college and the wider Canberra region.

Giving back is at the heart of what we do. Supporting the next generation of artists and leaders aligns with our vision to create lasting impact and opportunities for growth—both within Radford and beyond.

Congratulations to this year’s Emerging Artist winner, Clare Lawrence and thank you to all the incredible artists who shared their work. Your creativity continues to inspire us all.

Clare was not present at the award ceremony, her parents who are artists themselves collected the award on behalf of Clare.
