archibald prize The much-anticipated Archibald prize opening was the largest the Gallery has ever seen with over 500 guests attending. Bendigo was very proud to have the prize visit. Opening night saw Red Symons entertain the crowd and open the prize in which a portrait of him was entered. The winning entry by Del Kathryn Brown hung proud with the other exquisite entrants. Particular attention was paid to a portrait of Heath Ledger, which graced the walls along with those of Neil Finn and many others. Bendigo looks forward to many more exhibitions of this quality.
