NAS at Sydney Contemporary Art Fair 8-11 September

NAS at Sydney Contemporary Art Fair 8-11 September

The National Art School is excited to present the next wave of Australia’s artistic talent at Sydney Contemporary in 2022. We will be showcasing the work of eight emerging artists who have recently graduated from either our Master of Fine Art Program or our Bachelor of Fine Art Program. The diverse exhibition will feature the best examples of painting, drawing, photomedia, ceramics and sculpture that NAS has to offer. For collectors who are interested in emerging art, young talent, and affordable works, the National Art School is the place to visit.

Located at stand H02, we will be showing 8 NAS artists.

Please come and join us at the Fair. We would love to show you new work by our extraordinary artists.
