PORT Macquarie student Logan Austin has been named a finalist in the 2025 Young Archie competition.
Run in conjunction with the iconic Archibald Prize, the competition invites young artists across Australia to submit portraits of someone special to them.
Logan, a Year Two student at St Joseph’s Primary School, was selected as a finalist from thousands of entries nationwide, with a heartfelt portrait titled ‘My Dad’.
St Joseph’s teacher Elise Howard said being named a finalist was an “incredible accomplishment”.
“The Young Archie is the most prestigious art prize for students,” she said.
“His success will inspire others and further encourage his talents.
“Not many people can say that their art is hanging in the Art Gallery of NSW.”
Port Macquarie locals and art enthusiasts can view Logan’s artwork alongside other young finalists on the official Art Gallery of NSW website.
The Young Archies exhibition is on display at the Art Gallery of NSW until 17 August.
