ARCHIBALD - Australia’s Favourite Portrait Prize

Our Architectural Rep Wendy and our Marketing Manager Sandra were invited by RBA Group to an evening of champagne,  canapés and a sneak preview of the Archibald collection before it opened to the general public.IMG_4438

The Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes is an annual exhibition eagerly anticipated by artists and audiences alike, this was a rare opportunity for the girls to have a sneak peek of the Archibald Prize finalist a week before the doors opened to the public, the paint was still fresh, the walls barely up and the packers exhausted!
