Archibald Prize 2024

The annual Archibald Prize is eagerly anticipated by artists and audiences alike across Australia.

This year the Archibald Prize returns to Lismore Regional Gallery for the second time, sharing all 57 finalist works from the 2024 iteration at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in a major exhibition across three of our main galleries.

Judged by the trustees of AGNSW, the prize is awarded to a notable portrait painting annually. Entries to the Archibald Prize must be painted in the preceding year from at least one live sitting. Since 1921, it has highlighted figures from all walks of life, from famous faces to local heroes, reflecting the personal and intimate stories of our times.

The Archibald Prize 2024 features works by Northern NSW artists Matt Adnate (winner of the Packing Room Prize), Angus McDonald and Ben Smith.
