The Bald Archy Exhibition

The Bald Archy is an Australian art prize, which parodies the prestigious portraiture award, the Archibald Prize. It usually includes cartoons or humorous works making fun of Australian celebrities. Unlike more traditional portrait competitions, the Bald Archy focus is satirical and humorous representations of well-known Australians. No one is safe – the competition has gained popularity over the years for its humour, wit, and unconventional interpretations of subjects. Winning subjects have included Kerry Packer, Shane Warne, John Howard, Pauline Hanson Dame Edna and myriad other Australian icons.
