#20 - The Archibald Prize

02/05/08 | by Dylan Behan [mail] | Categories: event, artsy

The annual Archibald Prize really is Sydney's only known visual art event. Once a year, every broadsheet newspaper reader in Sydney ventures down to the NSW Art Gallery, pays their $8, scans the paintings, passes judgement on the winner, ooohs and aarhs over one photo realistic entry, and then returns home to their live of Star Wars DVDs and/or reality TV shows, feeling cultured. Well, at least we've got one visual arts event that gets people out of the house.
