About the event

As ​‘Artist’s Mouth’ enters its final days, join co-curator Lucy Latella in conversation with artists Mitch Cairns, Agatha Gothe-Snape, and NAS Acting Head of Painting Elizabeth Pulie.

Together, they will reflect on Cairns’ artistic practice over the past two decades — from his time as a National Art School student in the early 2000’s to his position as a leading figure in contemporary Australian art.

NAS Gallery will be open after hours for this special event, with drinks available for purchase throughout the evening.
