Archie Plus People, portraiture and the power of community

This summer the Art Gallery of New South Wales is celebrating people, portraiture and the power of community with Archie Plus, a free program of art, music, performance and dance that marks a year of challenge and change and pays tribute to the acts of care, support and human resilience that have lifted, protected and inspired during 2020.

Enlarging on the portrait focus of the Archibald Prize, Archie Plus welcomes viewers to reflect and re-connect through portraits of many kinds — among them murals, night-time lightworks, sculpture and photography commissions, and playful new collection displays.
