The Postgrad Show
Friday 12 – Sunday 21 February
11am–5pm

After years of artistic exploration, inspiration and dedicated hard work behind the sandstone walls of the historic former Darlinghurst Gaol, the National Art School’s graduates of 2020 are breaking out.
It was inspiring to see students improvise to create studio spaces at home and continue working during lockdown, sharing their experiences and supporting each other, then returning to campus with renewed artistic energy and enthusiasm.
Please join us as we celebrate the achievements of our Master of Fine Art and Graduate Diploma students, with new art from new artists on show throughout the NAS campus. Visit NAS Gallery, the Rayner Hoff Project Space and open studios to experience fresh, progressive and bold works from our outstanding class of 2020 – the next generation of Australian artists.

LGBTQI+ community participation is central to all components of SKIN DEEP – as narrators, models, storytellers and performers.
Exhibition
Celebrated Sydney fashion photographer, Waded, brings her skills of cutting edge fashion portraiture, to capture authentic but highly styled portraits of diverse tattooed bodies that tell unique stories through their body art.
Woven through the photographic exhibition will include historical images and the background of LGBTQI+ tattooed symbols used over last century to convey political messages or to reveal ones identity. The LGBTQI+ community are invited to contribute to the Exhibition through an interactive story wall of images and stories about their first tattoo.
