Event description

Join us at CanberraPotters/Watson Arts Centre together with the Museum of the Riverina for the anouncement of the 2025 Prize Winner on Friday 21 March at 6pm at Watson Arts Centre/Canberra Potters and browse this years selection of portraits.

Australia's leading satirical art extravaganza, the Bald Archy Prize! Born in 1994 as a whimsical take that more serious competition, this prize throws open its canvas to artists of every stripe, inviting them to unleash their creativity in portrait paintings teeming with humour, dark satire, light comedy, or caricature.

Known internationally as the only art competition in the world to be judged by a sulphur-crested cockatoo named Maude, the satirical essence of this event captures the irreverent, larrikin spirit that defines the Australian ethos, resonating with individuals from all walks of life.

Now, entering its 29th year in 2025, the Bald Archy Prize beckons artists to carry forward the rich tradition of revelling in laughter while basking in the beauty of art.

Prize winner Announced: 6pm Friday 21 March 2025

RSVPs essential.

Canberra Potters, a not-for-profit community organisation, was established in Canberra in 1975. Its objectives are to promote excellence and innovation in ceramics, foster appreciation of handcrafted ceramics in the broader community and encourage the professional development of its members. The Society is an ACT Government Key Arts Organisation. As such it receives some funding from the ACT Government and manages Watson Arts Centre, an ACT Government arts facility, located in Aspinall Street, Watson, only 5kms from the Canberra CBD.

The premises include a large teaching workshop, smaller teaching workshop, members-only workshop, spacious gallery, retail shop for the work of a selected group of members, library, administration areas, kiln room, glazing room and clay storage. There are four studios for rent to ceramic artists plus a further studio and accommodation for an artist-in-residence program.

Membership of the society is open to anyone with an interest in pottery. Benefits include monthly email updates, use of wheels and equipment at member-access sessions in the members-only workshop, a firing service, kiln hire, discounts on classes and discounts at some pottery supply retail outlets. There is an extensive library for the use of members.

Canberra Potters members encompass a wide range of abilities, ages and interests with members ranging from raw beginners to full-time professional potters.

Workshops conducted by professional potters are held throughout the year, as are regular members’ events. An extensive program of day and evening classes is run for adults, and after-school, weekend and school holiday classes for children. Special interest classes, e.g. glazes, kiln firing, sculpture, are also offered.
