Langoulant keeps reform fires burning
John Langoulant’s interests range widely, from building a lyric theatre in Perth to doing business in the Top End, but his main passion is public sector reform.
In 2019 The Black Swan Prize for Portraiture was renamed The Lester Prize in honour of the award’s leading patron, Richard Lester AM. The Lester Prize is managed by The Lester (formerly ARTrinsic Inc), a not-for-profit organisation, founded in 2007 by Tina Wilson to provide an avenue for artists to exhibit works of portraiture within Western Australia.
