Pet Palace - Little Orange Studio x AGNSW

Next date: Thursday, 30 April 2026 | 10:00 AM to Sunday, 16 August 2026 | 04:00 PM

Presented alongside 'Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes 2026', this salon-style mural offers a different kind of portrait: not of people, but of beloved pets, spirit guides and creature friends.

Created by the artists of Little Orange Studio in Campbelltown, 'Pet Palace' celebrates the unbreakable bonds – and knowing looks that pass – between people and animals. For the artists, these relationships are a source of daily care, companionship and reciprocal support.

The mural features distinguished pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge, eldritch beings, and animals in everyday life. Campbelltown’s parks and rivers appear as meeting places  for dogs and ducks alike!

Framed by the Grand Courts’ classical archways and set against a backdrop of sea and garden-inspired forms, Pet Palace is both a playful twist on historical portrait displays and a characterful homage to those who guide, comfort and walk beside us.

Little Orange Studio artists: Brendalee Coan, Jezzy Fezzy, Imogen Jade, Adam Jones, Xeni Kusumitra, Simon Nicholls, Jessica Pound, Blake Thomas, Joel Beers, Rainer Ciar

Visit the 'Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes 2026' exhibition on lower level 2 (9 May – 16 August 2026).
