ArtsHub: Artspace ‘hotdesks’ at NAS, tapping legacy to support emerging careers

Article by Celina Lei

Artspace has announced the commencement of a long-awaited redevelopment for their gallery space The Gunnery in Woolloomooloo, which has housed Artspace since 1993. The redevelopment will mean that the gallery will close until 2022. In the meantime, Artspace will take residence at the National Art School (NAS) in Darlinghurst, a move that captures the full arc of the arts ecosystem, from training to studio and professional practice.

NAS CEO and Director Steven Alderton: ‘For a long time we’ve been talking about how we can work together. Being on the panel for the NSW Emerging Artist Fellowship [hosted by Artspace] last year, I felt Artspace’s amazing role in supporting emerging artists and contemporary critical practice. If we could work closer together, we can really bolster training for our next generation of artists.’
