National Art School 2020 Annual Appeal
Support the next generation of Australian artists
For over 150 years, the National Art School has been the epicentre of fine arts education and a vital contributor to the arts and cultural sector in NSW.
In 2020, we have seen exceptional disruption to our everyday life, from devastating bushfires to the COVID-19 pandemic. During these challenging times, art students and emerging artists need our support more than ever. Investing in the development of emerging artists is needed to safeguard the future of visual arts practice in Australia.
As the leading art school in Australia, NAS trains the next generation of artists. Philanthropic support is vital to ensure the ongoing viability and sustainability of the National Art School, and it is through this generosity that we can remain at the forefront of visual arts education in Australia.
