“Elisabeth Cummings: Radiance is one of those rare, truly irresistible displays that reminds us of the fundamental reason we look at paintings: because it is a pleasure, not a chore… If happiness could be stored in a jar and spread on a canvas, this is the way it might look.”- John McDonald writing for the Sydney Morning Herald.
The National Art School is proud to present The Grad Show, 6 – 15 December 2024, our major end-of-year exhibition showcasing the work of our 2024 Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) graduates.
