The Archibald Prize 2024

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.

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. You'll also find a piece by Thom Roberts in the Sulman Prize exhibition as he was named for the first time as a finalist in the prize.
