“We are enormously proud of all our BFA, MFA and DFA graduating students for 2023,” said NAS Director and CEO Steven Alderton. “Despite the disruptions over the past three years, their outstanding work shows they are ready to join the celebrated ranks of NAS alumni, who are among Australia’s most esteemed and accomplished artists of the past and present. These graduates represent the future.”
