Due to the disruption brought about by COVID-19, we are still finalising details for the second Darling Portrait Prize. We acknowledge what a hard year it has been for Australian artists and we are committed to working with them in the future. Join our Darling mailing list to be notified when more information is available.
The Darling Portrait Prize is a new national prize for Australian portrait painting honouring the legacy of Mr L Gordon Darling AC CMG (1921-2015), who was instrumental in establishing the National Portrait Gallery of Australia. Anthea da Silva won the $75,000 Darling Portrait Prize with her painting Elizabeth depicting the high priestess of Australian contemporary dance, Dr Elizabeth Cameron-Dalman OAM.
