Seeking Volunteers: Join the 2025 Bald Archy Prize Team

Published on 02 July 2025

Prepare for even bigger laughs as the highly anticipated Bald Archy Prize makes its grand return to Federation! This renowned satirical exhibition will be open daily from Saturday 16 August, to Sunday 14 September, 2025, showcasing 38 playful and entertaining portraits of familiar personalities. It's a must-see event for art lovers and anyone who enjoys a good chuckle!

Last year's Bald Archy Prize at Corowa Art Space was a phenomenal success, thanks in large part to our incredible team of over 30 dedicated volunteers. They helped us welcome an impressive 1,200 visitors who travelled from more than 170 different suburbs, with some art enthusiasts even making the journey from as far as Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, and New Zealand!

To make this year's exhibition an even greater triumph, we are currently seeking enthusiastic volunteers to help us throughout the duration of the show. Your support is vital in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all our visitors.

Here's how you can help:

• Weekdays: We need four volunteers each day. Two volunteers for the morning shift (10am to 1pm) and two for the afternoon shift (1pm to 4pm).
• Weekends: We have one shift available from 10am to 2pm.

As a token of our immense gratitude for the vital role volunteers play, all those who dedicate their time will be invited to an exclusive preview event of the exhibition! This is a fantastic opportunity to get a special behind-the-scenes look at the artworks before they are unveiled to the general public.

If you would like to discuss your availability and interest in volunteering at the Bald Archy Prize, please contact communityevents@federationcouncil.nsw.gov.au or (02) 6033 8936 before Friday 1 August, 2025.
