CAIRNS’ Cairns Art Gallery is set to host

the Archibald Prize in one of its
most remarkable years yet.
GREATEST Words: Annabel Bowles
Our city’s greatest art coup is on its way.
Cairns Art Gallery will make history this
March, becoming the first Queensland
venue to host the Archibald Prize.
Traditionally, the Archibald only travels
between New South Wales and one
COUP Victorian venue. But this year, the Art
Gallery of NSW has selected Cairns
among many other contending galleries
to host Australia’s most prestigious
portraiture exhibition.
