The Archibald Prize has always created controversy and conversation. For over a century, artists from Australia and New Zealand have captured the spirit of their times through portraiture, reflecting the personalities and issues that define their communities.
The Wynne Prize for landscape painting of Australian scenery, or figure sculpture, celebrates the diversity of representations of our country, and the Sulman Prize is for subject painting, genre painting or a mural project.
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. In 2025 the Sulman will be judged by renowned artist Elizabeth Pulie.
These ‘must-see’ annual exhibitions of finalists and winners have become a fixture on our SWIC artistic calendar.
