SALON DES REFUSÉS: The alternative Archibald & Wynne Prize selection
Until 16 June
Each year the Salon des Refusés selection panel goes behind the scenes at AGNSW to choose an alternative exhibition from the many works not selected as finalists in the Archibald and Wynne Prize exhibition. The criteria for works selected in the Salon are quality, diversity, humour and experimentation.
Visitors to the Salon des Refusés exhibition can vote for their favourite artwork in the Holding Redlich People’s Choice Award - the winner of this award will be announced on 16 June.
