It’s the final call for entries to this year’s Archibald, Wynne and Sulman prizes at the Art Gallery of NSW.
In the final countdown to the delivery of artworks in the 2024 Archibald, Wynne, and Sulman Prizes, a rainy day became a dog day as several canine sitters padded into the Art Gallery of NSW packing room to drop off last-minute entries with their owners.
Artist Vera Arbinja, with sitter Elysia Aravena and Benji the dog, delivers her work to the loading dock of the Art Gallery of NSW.The trio met at Moore Design Collective, a shop in Miranda, and Arbinja was inspired to paint the Benji and Elysia in the style of Frida Kahlo, delivering the portrait dressed in bright pink headdresses and outfits.
In the final hours of delivery for the three major art prizes, the line of cars and trucks conveying artworks at one point stretched all the way down Art Gallery Road to St Mary’s Cathedral.Some had come a long way. Artist Alana Lacy drove from Melbourne to deliver her painting of DJ Shio Otani, and Dianne Nally had travelled from the country Victoria town of Kyabram with her fiancé Andrew Doherty.
Robert Hannaford, 27-time Archibald finalist and three-times People’s Choice winner was painted by his daughter Tsering Hannaford, a nine-time Archibald finalist herself.
