NAS Patrons

NAS Patrons are a group of committed art lovers who support the National Art School’s programs and students via regular annual tax-deductible donations.

The National Art School is a not for profit organisation and funds generated by NAS Patrons provide crucial support towards our academic programs, community and outreach initiatives, and our high-quality program of public exhibitions and short courses.

By way of thanks for their support, NAS Patrons enjoy a close relationship with the National Art School and are invited to connect with our network of high-profile artists and alumni; leading collectors and gallerists; academics; curators; and staff.

Patrons engage in a robust program of specialist events, spanning exhibition previews and openings; curator-led tours; artist talks; visits to artists’ studios; viewings of corporate and private collections; and artists’ parties.

We are also delighted to acknowledge the support of our Patrons by name on the NAS website and in selected print material for the duration of their support.
