NAS is proud to present the work of our 2022 Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) cohort.

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 work across ceramics, drawing, painting, photomedia, printmaking and sculpture, exhibited throughout the NAS campus.

“We are enormously proud of all our BFA, MFA and DFA graduating students for 2022,” 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.”

Visit NAS Gallery, the Rayner Hoff Project Space, The Drawing Gallery, and open studios to experience fresh, progressive and bold works from our outstanding class of 2022 – the next generation of Australian artists.

In June, we celebrate World Pride Month. Like many other culturally significant times, it’s a month that’s meaningful to our community and the Oxford precinct we are part of.

In 2015, NAS alum Todd Fuller (@fuller_todd) sent members of the public black and white drawings depicting two men engaged in a passionate kiss. The participants were encouraged to respond to the image by colouring in the figures, with the resulting images compiled by Fuller into a mixed media video animation.

Fuller gifted this work to the National Art School Collection, a collection that performs a major role within the National Art School as both a teaching resource and a historical record. Visit our website to find out more about the works in our collection.
