The Bald Archy is an Australian art prize, which parodies the prestigious portraiture award, the Archibald Prize. It usually includes cartoons or humorous works making fun of Australian celebrities.

History

It was founded in 1994[1] by theatre director and actor Peter Batey,[2] it is judged by Maude, Batey's cockatoo.[3]

Since 2005, the home of the competition and its accompanying exhibition has been the Museum of the Riverina, Wagga Wagga. However, in 2008, the prize was announced during the Canberra portion of the national tour.

Batey died in June 2019, in a car accident near his home at Coolac, New South Wales.[2] The prize rebooted in 2023.[1] Peter Batey bequeathed the past winning portraits and the rights to run the annual prize to the Museum of the Riverina in Wagga Wagga. The Museum relaunched the Prize in February 2023.
