Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes 2025

The Archibald Prize for portrait painting is Australia’s most celebrated and democratic – sometimes controversial – art award. Open to any artist living in Australia or New Zealand, since 1921 it has reflected the unique experiences of the people who live in this region, highlighting figures from all walks of life.
As equally exciting for the diverse entries they attract from across the country, the Wynne Prize is for landscape painting of Australian scenery, or figure sculpture, while the Sulman Prize is for subject painting, genre painting or a mural project.
The ‘must-see’ annual exhibition of finalists and winners in these three competitions is always compelling viewing.

Each year, the trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales judge the Archibald and Wynne,and invite an artist to judge the Sulman.

Looking to catch the train up from Wollongong station about 7:45am so as to get to the gallery at 10am when the gallery opens, then lunch and drinks

Costs are $25 for the exhibit. You can buy tickets online, or at the gallery on the day and hope it is not too busy to get in.
