Australian of the Year and childhood sexual abuse survivor
Grace Tame has shared a beautiful portrait of herself by Sydney-based artist
Kirsty Neilson, which was today announced as one of the finalists for the Archibald Prize 2021.
A whopping 938 portraits were entered into this year’s Archibald Prize and 52 were selected.
This year marks 100 years of the Archibald, and is also the first time in its history that there is gender parity for artists selected as finalists. That’s 26 women and 26 men.
Neilson, who was also an Archibald Prize Finalist in 2016 and 2018, titled her portrait ‘Making Noise’, after she was inspired by Tame’s passion, strength, and bravery.
