Winter School Holiday Programs

by Danielle Neely

Join us in July for our Winter School Holiday Programs

4 – 15 July 2022

Our workshops provide young people aged 6–16 with opportunities to engage with artists, art-making and creativity on our NAS campus.

Future Makers Programs provide young people aged 6–16 with opportunities to engage with artists, art-making and other forms of creative production on site at NAS. Structured on-campus and online workshops form the foundation of the school holiday workshops across the year.

Mini-Makers offers students aged 6–8 an opportunity to start their art-making journey using a variety of different art-making materials and techniques.
Art Adventurers presents workshops for students aged 9–12 to build on their ideas and understanding of the art world.
Young Creatives workshops enable students aged 13–16 to extend and challenge their knowledge, skills and understanding of art-making through in-depth conceptual and technical study.

We accept Creative Kids Vouchers for all our youth programs.

The National Art School was proud to launch our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and First Peoples Centre Darani Ngalawada last night.

The RAP articulates our commitment to strengthening relationships between Australia’s First Peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, acknowledging the truth and ongoing impact of colonisation, while cultivating a positive future together through education.

NAS always was, always will be on unceded Gadigal Land.

To read our RAP, visit nas.edu.au.
