The Bald Archy is an Australian art prize, which parodies the prestigious portraiture award, with cartoons or humorous works making fun of Australian celebrities. Mansfield is the first gallery in Victoria to showcase the 2026 exhibition.

Unlike more traditional portrait competitions, the Bald Archy focus is satirical and humorous representations of well-known Australians. No one is safe – the competition has gained popularity over the years for its humour, wit, and unconventional interpretations of subjects. Winning subjects have included Kerry Packer, Shane Warne, John Howard, Pauline Hanson Dame Edna and myriad other Australian icons. The Bald Archy is a national touring exhibition presented by the Museum of the Riverina.
