Best Of Australian Art Prize Exhibition: Archibald, Wynne & Sulman

What your day looks like

The most anticipated annual exhibition of Australian art. At its heart, the Archibald Prize is about storytelling. Who are the people our artists have chosen to paint, and what do their portraits reveal to us? In this exhibition, Australian and New Zealand artists use portraiture to share the beauty and complexity of our times. Each year, the Archibald, Wynne, and Sulman Prizes draw art lovers from around the world to Sydney’s Art Gallery of New South Wales. The Archibald Prize celebrates the art of portraiture, featuring compelling images of well-known personalities and everyday Australians and New Zealanders. The Wynne Prize showcases breathtaking Australian landscapes and striking sculptures. The Sulman Prize spotlights imaginative scenes and storytelling through subject and genre painting – judged in 2026 by renowned artist Del Kathryn Barton.. This must-see annual exhibition of finalists and winners has become a fixture in our artistic calendar. A single ticket gives you access to see all three of these prestigious awards.
