==============

The Fleurieu Peninsula Biennale is a significant arts festival, which takes place biennially on South Australia's famous Fleurieu Peninsula - world renowned for its wine, food and rich art history.

Since its inception in 1998, the Biennale has grown to become a national visual arts festival which provides, as the cornerstone of the event, Australia's richest prize for landscape painting, the Fleurieu Art Prize, offering $50,000 to the winning artist.

It seems appropriate that the most significant prize for landscape art in Australia be centered in the Fleurieu Peninsula, a region which, with its striking vistas and extraordinary geological formations, has long been both a home and a source of inspiration for some of Australia's most important landscape artists.

In 2006 the Biennale will take place from 3 - 26 November, with venues right across the Peninsula hosting major exhibitions, lectures, workshops, a Gala Awards Dinner and a community program showcasing the best art, food, wine and hospitality this unique region has to offer.
