2024 Archibald Prize Regional tour: Bowral

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.

The 2024 Archibald Prize Regional Tour stops in at Bowral this year at the Southern Highlands Regional Gallery - Ngununggula.

This year Studio A's Emily Crockford and Thom Roberts have been selected for a fourth time as finalists in the Archibald Prize, while Meagan Pelham and Daniel Kim have both been named as finalists for a second time.
