Sponsor's Statement

Two great Australian icons, Myer and the Art Gallery of New South Wales have joined forces to celebrate one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious art awards, The Archibald Prize.

With a respect and deep affection for art, Myer is proud to partner with the Art Gallery to support Australian artists and preserve the memory of great Australians through the nation's most popular annual art exhibition.  By sponsoring the Archibald Prize, Myer actively recognises the very important role art plays and acknowledges art's capacity to delight, to engage and to inspire.

Myer is delighted to have forged this partnership, celebrating one of Australia’s most esteemed art events, which is deservedly celebrated and recognised like no other art prize.
