Governance

The principal mission of the National Art School is to be a centre of excellence for the provision of higher education and research, scholarship and professional practice in the visual arts and related fields.

The National Art School utilises its independent identity and its historic site to develop and deliver arts and cultural awareness in a local, national and international context.

Our strategic priorities over the 2014 – 2022 period are to:

  • Be the institute of choice for the study of visual art practice in Australia
  • Unlock the historical and cultural significance of the National Art School for the benefit of the broader community
  • Create a vibrant cultural hub that attracts and inspires Australia’s diverse communities
  • Strengthen operational capacity to ensure the highest quality corporate and academic outcomes
