Australia's most irreverent portrait award, The Bald Archy Prize, is returning to the National Cartoon Gallery in Coffs Harbour this year to celebrate wit, satire and the lighter side of portraiture.
The counterpoint to the Archibald Prize showcases all styles and standards of comic or satirical portraits of a distinguished Australian that embrace humour, parody and caricature.
The exhibition showcases a wide variety of subjects, with the walls dominated by familiar political faces including multiple depictions of Bob Katter, Pauline Hanson, Barnaby Joyce, and Anthony Albanese.
Created in 1994 by the late Peter Batey OAM, the Bald Archy Prize is considered to be Australia's premier satirical art prize, parodying the Archibald Prize and judged by sulphur-crested cockatoo Maude.
