Congratulations to ARC Living Master Vicki Sullivan for being a finalist for her work titled “Peace Actually” in the Archibald Prize competition. 

In the Archibald Prize, Australian and New Zealand artists use portraiture to share the beauty and complexity of our times.

About the portrait, Sullivan states “Jan is a compelling and thoughtful voice in Australian media, and I wanted to capture both her strength and her humanity in this work.”

The exhibition runs from May 9 – August 16, 2026 at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Art Gallery Rd, Naala Nura building, Lower level 2, Sydney. NWS, 2000, Australia.
