We are delighted to announce that Goulburn Regional Art Gallery will host the Archibald Prize 2023, an Art Gallery of New South Wales touring exhibition. The Archibald Prize is Australia's foremost prize for portraiture and takes centre stage at the outset of the new year.
Visit Goulburn Regional Art Gallery to see this iconic exhibition, experiencing all 57 finalist's portraits up close and personal, depicting public figures and cultural identities from all walks of life. You will recognise famous faces and local heroes whilst also encountering new personalities in an exhibition reflecting the best artists and stories of our times.
The featured works are dynamic in scale, style, and medium, ranging from photo-realistic faces through to abstract and playfully rendered likenesses. Goulburn Regional Art Gallery is one of only six regional galleries to host this major touring exhibition.
Goulburn Regional Art Gallery's recent renovation which added a brand new exhibition space has allowed for this astonishing exhibition to be presented in Goulburn, offering art lovers the chance to view works by some of Australia's most prominent artists.
