For many years, the Hazlett family, through Cameron Brae Group, has proudly sponsored the prestigious Fisher’s Ghost Art Award, an annual celebration of artistic excellence presented by Campbelltown Arts Centre. This ongoing commitment reflects a value inspired by the late David Hazlett: to invest in the prosperity and growth of the region by supporting meaningful local initiatives. One of the highlights of that commitment is the Open Award, valued at $50,000 and acquisitive to the Campbelltown City Council Art Collection.  The award sits at the heart of the long-running Festival of Fisher’s Ghost, a celebration of creativity, culture, and community that has been woven into Campbelltown’s identity for more than six decades. Honouring Local Talent and Creativity The 2025 Fisher’s Ghost Art Award attracted a record number of entries from across Western Sydney and beyond, showcasing the depth of talent and diversity within the arts community. This year’s judging panel; comprising artist and Creative Producer Eddie Abd, CEO of Murray Art Museum Albury Blair French, and Director of Parramatta Artists’ Studios Sidney McMahon, selected a body of work that reflects the technical skill, conceptual strength, and creative depth of Australia’s contemporary artists. At the Award Announcement held on Friday, 31 October 2025, Nicole Barakat was named the winner of the Open Award for her work A language for the emptiness of words. A Personal Connection For Georgina Hazlett, presenting the Open Award this year held special significance. She fondly recalls attending the awards with her father, David Hazlett, in previous years, experiences that instilled a lifelong appreciation for local creativity and community celebration. “The Fisher’s Ghost Art Award holds a special place in my heart,” said Georgina Hazlett. “Having attended these awards with my dad, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible talent and dedication of artists from our region. Each year I am inspired by the creativity on display, and it is a privilege to be part of something that brings people together through art.” Celebrating Creativity, Fostering Community Now in its 63rd year, the Fisher’s Ghost Art Award continues to be one of the most respected art prizes in New South Wales, with more than $60,000 in total prize money awarded across multiple categories from professional and emerging artists to primary and secondary students. By supporting this event year after year, the Hazlett family and Cameron Brae Group continue to champion creativity, opportunity, and community connection. We extend our warmest congratulations to Nicole Barakat on her outstanding achievement, and to all the artists whose work enriches the cultural life of our region.
