The Archibald Prize, Australia’s most prestigious portrait award, is coming back to Muswellbrook. Join us for the official launch event from 4pm Saturday 24 January 2026!
Since 1921, the Archibald Prize has captured the faces and stories of our times – from household names to local heroes – reflecting the breadth and diversity of Australian life. Judged by the trustees of the Art Gallery of NSW, it is eagerly anticipated each year by artists and audiences alike.
This touring exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the finalists of the Prize right here in Muswellbrook.
