NAS Patrons

NAS Patrons are a group of committed art lovers who support the National Art School’s programs and students via regular annual tax-deductible donations.

The National Art School is a not for profit organisation and funds generated by NAS Patrons provide crucial support towards our academic programs, community and outreach initiatives, and our high-quality program of public exhibitions and short courses.

By way of thanks for their support, NAS Patrons enjoy a close relationship with the National Art School and are invited to connect with our network of high-profile artists and alumni; leading collectors and gallerists; academics; curators; and staff.

Patrons engage in a robust program of specialist events, spanning exhibition previews and openings; curator-led tours; artist talks; visits to artists’ studios; viewings of corporate and private collections; and artists’ parties.

We are also delighted to acknowledge the support of our Patrons by name on the NAS website and in selected print material for the duration of their support.

Congratulations to our recent BFA graduate Samuel Chan (@__szwc), who has been named one of three recipients of the ‘most exceptional’ prize at the Dr Harold Schenberg Arts Awards.

Now in its 16th year, the Dr Harold Schenberg Arts Awards offers the largest prize pool for emerging artists in Australia and is part of PICA’s ‘Hatched: National Graduate Show’. To be part of ‘Hatched’ exhibition is an honour as it showcases the next generation of Australia’s contemporary creative voices, presenting artworks by 23 outstanding art school graduates from across the country.

Sam’s award-winning installation work includes `At Eventuality’s End` - an evocative sculptural piece previously featured in our ‘Queer Contemporary: Chaosophy ‘exhibition as well as the NAS Grad Show.

Inspired by our alumni success stories? Join our Open Day on 6 September to explore your own creative path and get application-ready with one-on-one consultation sessions. (Link in bio)

Exciting news! Thanks to Creality (@creality_anz), the National Art School is now equipped with the latest 3D printers and equipment.

This semester, printmaking lecturer Stephanie Nova Milne has been guiding students as they explore 3D printing in their creative practice, and the results are incredible.

We look forward to seeing what they create next.
