Young Archie 2023 winners
Each year the Art Gallery invites budding artists between the ages of 5 and 18 to submit a portrait of someone special to them for the Young Archie competition.
In 2023 there was a record number of entries to the competition with over 3400 submissions from across Australia. This year’s guest judge, Meriam Mer artist Grace Lillian Lee, selected 70 finalists to be exhibited at the Art Gallery.
In July the finalists and their families attended a celebration and winners announcement. Join the festivities and hear from the four winners about their portraits and what art means to them.
