The Bald Archy prize has become Australia’s most popular satirical portrait award and is now internationally known. Winning subjects have included Kerry Packer, Shane Warne, John Howard, Pauline Hanson and a myriad other Australian icons.
Judged by Professor Maude Cockatoo, the world’s only avian art critic. It celebrates the lighter side of art and the larrikin Australian spirit, portraits that will make you think, make you talk and most of all make you laugh.
“It takes 11 galahs to judge the Archibald but only one cockatoo to judge the Bald Archy”.
Peter Batey OAM, 2016
