Sweet piece on @9NewsSyd by @DaltsWorld looking at the much loved #YoungArchie competition at the @ArtGalleryofNSW and the creative kids who make it so special. Keep an eye on the Gallery website for the 2021 winners announcement this Saturday.

[9News Sydney @9NewsSyd]

Most young artists start with a bit of finger painting, then work their way up, with some eventually being considered for the coveted Archibald Prize.

Along the way, they might enter the Young Archies!

[9News Sydney @9NewsSyd]

Along with its ability to engage and amaze, the world of art is a wonderful document of history traced through the ages.

But during the pandemic, the New South Wales Art Gallery thinks some of that history could apply right now.
