The Grad Show 2021
NAS is proud to present the work of our 2021 Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) graduate students. With 148 graduates exhibiting more than 1800 works across the campus, this is the largest cohort ever to graduate from NAS.
Each year, the NAS Grad Shows buzz with anticipation and excitement to see the next wave of Australia’s best emerging talent. Come and join us as we celebrate their achievements in ceramics, drawing, painting, photomedia, printmaking and sculpture
“We are enormously proud of all our graduating students for 2021,” said NAS Director and CEO Steven Alderton. “Despite the disruptions of the past two years, their outstanding work shows they are ready to join the celebrated ranks of NAS alumni, who are among Australia’s most esteemed and exceptional artists of the past and present. These graduates represent the future.”
Congratulations Jelena Telecki, the 2025 recipient of the The British School at Rome Residency.

This residency offers the opportunity to live and work in Rome for 3 months, in an interdisciplinary research community. The British School at Rome is a centre of interdisciplinary research excellence in the Mediterranean supporting the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences, and the residency has been made possible through the generosity of our donors, particularly Jennifer Dowling. The British School at Rome is just north of Rome’s historic centre in the Valle Giulia which separates the Parioli district from the Borghese Gardens.

Applications for 2026 residencies will open early next year. Find more information about all of NAS` International Residencies on the NAS website.
