Before there was social media satire, there was the Bald Archy.
Back in 2004, the Peppin Heritage Centre Gallery in Deniliquin struck up a working relationship with Peter Batey OAM, founder and curator of the famously irreverent Bald Archy Prize — the national portrait prize judged by his pet sulphur‑crested cockatoo, Professor Maude.
They're taking a joyful stroll down memory lane with Best of Bald Archy — a rare chance to see 30 years of Bald Archy first-place winners together in one exhibition. This is not the annual prize show, but a sharp-eyed retrospective celebrating three decades of wit, parody and fearless satire.
The Bald Archy Prize continues to champion that unmistakable larrikin Australian spirit, cutting across politics, celebrity and culture in a way that speaks to everyone.
