Owned and operated by the same family since 1918, Parkers has supplied quality art materials and framing services to generations of Sydney artists including George W. Lambert, Hans Heyson, Grace Cossington-Smith and Margaret Preston. After establishing their flagship store in The Rocks, the Parkers family opened stores in Redfern and Darlinghurst at the National Art School, an ideal location given the shared history and a respect for tradition. The Darlinghurst store is open to the public and stocks a range of paints, drawing accessories, canvas, charcoal, brushes and other art tools.

Congratulations Jelena Telecki, the 2025 recipient of the The British School at Rome Residency.
—
This residency offers the opportunity to live and work in Rome for 3 months, in an interdisciplinary research community. The British School at Rome is a centre of interdisciplinary research excellence in the Mediterranean supporting the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences, and the residency has been made possible through the generosity of our donors, particularly Jennifer Dowling. The British School at Rome is just north of Rome’s historic centre in the Valle Giulia which separates the Parioli district from the Borghese Gardens.

Applications for 2026 residencies will open early next year. Find more information about all of NAS` International Residencies on the NAS website.
