Bald Archy Prize caricature exhibition

Sydney NSW 2000
Ibis Sydney Barangaroo
When

Every day, 10am to 4pm Saturday 18 March to Friday 14 April

The Bald Archy Prize competition has been operating for 27 years and is ‘notorious’ for its irreverent comic and satirical depictions of well-known Australians who have graced the headlines and TV news.

The Bald Archy Prize will once again put the spotlight on Australia’s newsworthy characters of the past year, with Albo’s ascension to the PM throne and Scomo’s deposing a major focus of this year’s finalists.

Subjects weren’t restricted to politicians though, with celebrities from the arts and sports worlds including Ash Barty, Daryl Maguire, Wayne Bennett, Olivia Newton-John, and Maggie Beer making the cut.

 While the Bald Archy Prize has sometimes been held in contempt by the ‘art snobs’, the fact that the competition has been operating for almost 30 years is testimony to the competition’s popularity.

The founder of the Bald Archy Prize, Peter Batey OAM, sadly passed away in June 2019, but his legacy continues, with Peter – fittingly – a subject of one of the finalist’s portraits.

Sydney hotel owner, Dr Jerry Schwartz, is sponsoring the exhibition of the Bald Archy Prize finalists in Sydney, and later in the year the exhibition will tour regional galleries in NSW.
