Heard of the Archibald Prize?
Of course you have! And for those Philistines who’ve been living in a cultural desert, it’s the Australasian art award that’s been putting famous and everyday faces in the frame for more than a century.
Archie 100 is an incredible assembly of nearly 100 paintings from the award’s illustrious history – and it’s on show now at HOTA, the Gold Coast’s Home of the Arts.
Paul Keating, Molly Meldrum, Dame Edna Everage and Cate Blanchett are just a few of the well-known subjects who’ve sat for the prize over the years. You’ll see them all at Archie 100 plus many more mesmerizing and intimate portraits of fellow Aussies and Kiwis.
Archie 100 is on at HOTA until 2nd October.
JW Marriott is a sponsor of this enthralling exhibition and it’s just a hop, skip and jump from HOTA.
Why not combine a visit to Archie 100 with a wonderful mid-week stay at this stunning Surfers Paradise escape?
It’s the perfect opportunity to test-drive the resort’s new Spa by JW – a temple to wellness that offers a serious Zen vibe and tempting menu of treatments and indulgences.
A unique aspect of Spa by JW is the incorporation of locally-derived ingredients in lavish treatments – lavender from the Scenic Rim; citrus from the hotel’s own garden; and ginger from Bundaberg.
