In conjunction with the 2026 Archibald Prize exhibition tour, Shepparton Art Museum will host Beyond the Portrait: Meet the Archibald Finalists, a two-day public program which will give audiences the opportunity to connect with four finalists from this year’s Archibald Prize, including Natasha Bieniek.
Each artist will present an illustrated lecture delving into their artistic practice, ideas, creative process and their finalist work.
Registration to the talks is free and tickets to the exhibition can be booked on the Shepparton Art Museum website.
