archibald at tarrawarra

People from near and far came to the opening of the 2011 Archibald Prize at TarraWarra Museum of Art in the Yarra Valley on the weekend.

A terrific exhibition in a wonderful location. The 2011 Archibald Prize is well worth a visit.

Winning artist, Ben Quilty, spoke to the audience about his experience in winning the Archibald and the joy of receiving the winning cheque.

His portrait of Margaret Ollie is worth seeing alone, let alone all the other entries in the 2011 Archibald.

This is the only showing of the exhibition in Victoria and runs through to 31 July.
