Now in its 103rd year, the Archibald Prize for portrait painting is Australia’s most prestigious art award. On June 8, the 2024 winner will be unveiled to the public as part of its annual exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW. The exhibition always draws in the crowds, but Broadsheet Access has secured members a private, after-hours viewing.
