The Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes delight and surprise audiences every year with fresh presentations of contemporary Australian painting and sculpture.

At its heart, the Archibald Prize is about storytelling. Who are the people our artists have chosen to paint and what do their portraits reveal to us? In this exhibition, Australian and New Zealand artists use portraiture to share the beauty and complexity of our times.

- The Archibald Prize celebrates the art of portraiture, featuring compelling images of well-known personalities and everyday Australians and New Zealanders.

- The Wynne Prize showcases breathtaking Australian landscapes and striking sculptures.

- The Sulman Prize spotlights imaginative scenes and storytelling through subject and genre painting – judged in 2026 by renowned artist Del Kathryn Barton..
