The 2020 finalists from Australia's most famous portraiture prize will go on show next month as the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery hosts The Archibald Prize exhibition.

Attendees will be treated to catering from Lee Cecchin of Pandoras Palate, full bar facilities will be available, and music will be provided by expert local pianist, Robert Devoy.

Mayor Turley encouraged anyone with an interest in quality art to book their place early.

"It's going to be an amazing evening, the Archibald always provides an compelling array of unique and interesting artworks," said Mayor Turley.

"However we do have limited capacity, so I'd encourage anyone planning to attend to book early.

"I look forward to seeing everyone there on the night to share in this famous exhibition."
