Bald Archy Prize 2026

About the Exhibition

The Bald Archy prize is Australia’s most popular satirical portrait award and is now internationally known. Winning subjects have included Kerry Packer, Shane Warne, John Howard, Pauline Hanson, Julia Gillard and a myriad of other Australian icons. Judged by Professor Maude Cockatoo - the world’s only avian art critic - it celebrates the lighter side of art and the larrikin Australian spirit.

Come and see portraits that will make you think, make you talk and most of all make you laugh.
