This annual exhibition of the work of local students honours Jules Francois Archibald, after whom the Art Gallery of New South Wales’s famous portrait prize is named, and his very special connection to Geelong as his birthplace. The Who’s Who Portrait Exhibition aims to encourage and inspire young artists to celebrate local or regional identities, their personal histories and achievements through portraiture.

Geelong Gallery acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the Gallery and its collections are located, the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to all Elders, past, present and emerging.
