Episode Details

This year’s Young Archie competition is a heartwarming celebration of childhood love and family, featuring 70 finalists and 20 honorary mentions. Unlike the traditional Archibald Prize, which often focuses on public figures, these young artists paint the people who matter most — grandparents, mentors, and friends — revealing raw, tender glimpses into their worlds. Notably, 17 of the 22 pieces honoring elders came from artists with non-English speaking backgrounds, including nine with Chinese surnames, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry shaping Australia’s future. Standout works include Caden Bi’s tender embrace of his grandmother and Alexander Hsieh’s portrait of his beloved 80-year-old tutor — both capturing deep respect and affection. Free to visit, this exhibition is a joyful, uplifting window into the values and connections that will define our nation’s next generation.
