We offer studio-based fine arts courses with hands-on tuition, led by a faculty of practicing artists.

This is the place to be.

It's a joy to be in a school that solely exists for art, and artists, surrounded by people who share the same passion for creativity and culture.

We pay our respects to all Gadigal Elders past and present. We celebrate the diversity, history, knowledge and creativity of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia.
