Corporate Partnerships

We are proud to partner with local, national and global brands to support the National Art School’s students and to deliver significant exhibitions and engaging public programs.

The National Art School works with each partner to tailor sponsorship agreements to suit the specific needs of each company. Sponsorships can align to one of many NAS activities or programs, including events, exhibitions, community and outreach initiatives, and public programs.
