SUPPORT NAS, SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF ART

The NAS Art Auction and Cocktail Party is the National Art School’s annual fundraiser. It is a major cultural event featuring art and entertainment across our campus, including artist interventions; a live and silent artwork auction; performances by the renowned NAS Artist Band; a pumping dance floor; and an afterparty hosted by Archie Rose. NAS is where the future of art is trained, and the future of art comes together.

The National Art School is a 21st Century Art School that creates pathways to education and professional development opportunities for students and emerging artists.
