Australia’s most prestigious portrait art prize, the Archibald, has landed out west – South West Sydney to be exact.
The 2024 Archibald Prize is already on exhibition next week at the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre.
It will be on public display alongside two other exhibitions that showcase local young artists.
Archibald Prize works that will be part of the exhibition at Casula – from February 8 and until April 6 – include extraordinary individuals such as Matildas star Cortnee Vine, ABC presenter Tony Armstrong, internationally renowned actor Jacob Elordi, and Indigenous leader Professor Marcia Langton (pictured above).
The winning portrait of 2024 created by artist Laura Jones of Australian author Tim Winton is also part of this exhibition.
The other two exhibitions include Young Archie Liverpool open now and running until April 6.
This exhibition celebrates the young talent of Liverpool, inviting emerging artists to submit a portrait of someone who holds a special place in their life.
It provides local youth the opportunity to showcase creativity and artistic skill.
Next 2024 is the third exhibition, open now and closing on April 27.
This is an annual exhibition that showcases the works of HSC visual arts students from schools across the Liverpool local government area.
It’s a true celebration of the next generation of Australian artists, providing the community with a unique opportunity to experience firsthand the remarkable achievements of these emerging talents.
