Bequests

Support the next generation of artists

Bequests are vital to ensure the continuing success of the National Art School. By including the National School in your Will, you will help the next generation of Australian artists to receive an outstanding visual arts education.

Your legacy will help us to develop and maintain first-class studios and learning facilities for NAS students; produce high-quality exhibitions and public programs; deliver outreach programs to engage regional communities; and build and safeguard the NAS Collection and Archive.

Making a Bequest to the National Art School

We strongly recommend that you seek professional advice from a solicitor or financial adviser in arranging your bequest.

Bequests made to the general purposes of the National Art School will be used to advance the School’s core priorities. Should you wish to bequeath a work of art to the National Art School or nominate a specific purpose for your Bequest, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your intentions.

To notify us of your bequest, we invite you to send us a copy of the relevant extract from your Will, or a letter confirming your bequest from a solicitor.

To thank you for your pledge, we look forward to engaging you with the activities of the National Art School, our students and alumni via a program of events and tailored opportunities to suit your personal interests.
