Young Archies : A chance for our young artists to shine!
As part of the 2018 Archibald Prize regional tour, Lismore Regional Gallery invited children from across the region to submit a portrait for our Young Archie Competition.
The children’s edition of the long-standing Archibald Prize competition features at the Art Gallery of NSW annually and this year, to coincide with the regional tour to Lismore, local children will be given the opportunity to create a portrait of a ‘special person’ in their lives. The Young Archies Competition finalists will be exhibited at Lismore Regional Gallery during the Archibald Prize exhibition from 18 April 2019 – 16 June 2019.
The competition was open to children between the ages of 5 to 18 years and there are four age categories: 5-8 year olds, 9-12 year olds, 13-15 year olds and 16-18 year olds and finalists are online now.
The winners for each age category will be judged by local renowned artist and children’s book illustrator Michelle Dawson and announced on Sunday May 12 at the Peggy Popart Tour from 11.30am.
