National Art School announced as exhibition partner for 2020 Biennale of Sydney

by

News from Steven Alderton today “I am proud to announce we are an Exhibition Partner for NIRIN, Biennale of Sydney 2020 alongside Art Gallery of New South Wales, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Artspace Sydney, Campbelltown Arts Centre and Cockatoo Island, Sydney Harbour. Congratulations to Brook Andrew, Artistic Director and all of the 33 artists announced today.

“NIRIN is not a periphery, it is our centre, and it expresses dynamic existing and ancient practices that speak loudly. NIRIN decentres, challenges and transforms dominant narratives, such as the 2020 Captain Cook anniversary in Australia and reorients Western mapping, shining a light on sites of being that are often ignored or rendered invisible. NIRIN is an inspirational journey driven by stories and grass-roots practices, realised through twisting perceptions, moments of transition and a sense of being in the world that is interconnected.” – Brook Andrew

We are pleased to share the exciting news that we are introducing a new BFA (Hons) degree at the National Art School in 2026.

The Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) is an intensive one-year program designed for graduates of the BFA who are ready to deepen their studio practice and expand their academic and professional capabilities. This course is ideal for emerging artists who want to refine their practice, build industry connections, and prepare for postgraduate study or professional opportunities in the creative sector.

New scholarships will be available to students entering the BFA (Hons), with further details to be shared later this year. For more information and key dates, visit futurestudents.nas.edu.au (link in bio).
