📝 Useful Information
In Canberra, "Archie" typically refers to the Bald Archy Prize, a satirical portrait exhibition, or the Archibald Prize touring exhibition. As of March 2026, the primary "Archie" event in the city has just concluded its local run.
This satirical art competition, famous for being judged by a sulphur-crested cockatoo named Maude, recently finished its Canberra residency.
The official Archibald Prize (Australia's most prestigious portrait prize) follows a different schedule and is currently in the entry phase.
Are you looking for tickets to a specific music performance, or were you hoping to catch the touring dates for the Archibald art exhibition?
