The Bald Archy Prize 2023

9 FEBRUARY – 12 MARCH 2023

The Bald Archy Prize is back!

The 22 portraits in the 2023 $10,000 Bald Archy Prize exhibition tour were officially unveiled to the public at the Watson Art Centre in Canberra.

Museum of the Riverina Manager Luke Grealy (centre in picture from launch) is delighted to see its return after a three-year hiatus following the death of its founder, Peter Batey OAM, who is the subject in the portrait ‘Never a Dull Moment’ by Marty Steel, and the winner of the 2023 prize.

Canberra Potters and Watson Arts Centre acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land where we meet and work, the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people and other First Nations people who are connected with this land. We celebrate and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of the ACT and region. This is Aboriginal land. Always was always will be.
