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 saddened to hear of the recent death of artist and NAS alumnus Bruce Goold (1948-2025).

Born in Newcastle in 1948, from 1961- 65 Bruce attended Sydney Grammar School, where he studied art with ceramicist and potter Gordon McCausland. This was followed by a year at the National Art School, Newcastle. Here he experimented with various mediums and made his first linocut. He then studied at the National Art School, c. 1967-68.

Bruce was a member of the artist collective Yellow House between 1970-72. The former Clune Gallery in Kings Cross was transformed by Martin Sharp and a group of fellow artists, who painted the exterior bright yellow and covered its internal walls with murals, portraits and decoration. Artists such as Brett Whiteley, Peter Wright, Bruce Goold, Greg Weight and Peter Kingston turned the building into an artwork, while visiting bands and celebrities made it a regular fixture of the Sydney scene.

Known principally as a printmaker, Goold created coloured linocuts and woodblocks including many images of Australian flora and fauna, as well as South Pacific inspired esoteric and symbolic subjects. He held solo exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne and internationally in London and Ireland. He received major commissions for poster, logo and interior design and worked as a designer for Mambo from 1992.

A retrospective exhibition, Bruce Goold, Artist, Designer, Printmaker, curated by Therese Kenyon, was held at Manly Art Gallery & Museum in 2008.
The National Art School extends its sympathies to Bruce’s family and many friends.
