NAS Art Auction and Cocktail Party

NAS Art Auction and Cocktail Party

SUPPORT NAS, SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF ART

The NAS Art Auction and Cocktail Party is the National Art School’s annual fundraiser. It is a major cultural event featuring art and entertainment across our campus, including artist interventions; a live and silent artwork auction; performances by the renowned NAS Artist Band; a pumping dance floor; and an afterparty hosted by Archie Rose. NAS is where the future of art is trained, and the future of art comes together.
