Archibald Prize exhibition at Gippsland Art Gallery. - In 2021 we are delighted to bring the Archibald Prize to Gippsland for the very first time. The Archibald Prize, first awarded in 1921, is the country’s favourite art award, and one of its most prestigious. Awarded to the best portrait painting, it’s a who’s who of Australian culture―from politicians to celebrities, sporting heroes to artists.
Join us to discover these magnificent portraits. Tour includes:
Transport from Drouin and Warragul
Morning tea at the Latrobe Regional Gallery cafe and time to wander through the 'Our Land' exhibition. Moe, Morwell and Traralgon Art Societies stage this exhibition on the theme of ‘land’. The show is an annual showcase of the work of artists from these societies. In 2021, the exhibition is scheduled to coincide with the 50th anniversary exhibition.
Lunch at the Star Hotel in Sale.
Entry to the Archibald prize exhibition at the Gippsland Art Gallery in Sale.
