Your ideas belong here.

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.

A history of Influence

We’ve been growing great artists for over a century. Not by accident, not by chance – by knowledge, rigour, and a proven approach that connects generations of makers on this campus. The artists who trained here didn’t just launch successful careers. They shaped Australian art. They continue to shape it today.
