The Postgrad Show 2022
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.
NAS is proud to present the work of our 2022 Master of Fine Art (MFA) graduate students, Graduate Diploma of Fine Art (GDFA) students, and Doctor of Fine Art (DFA) graduates, who have completed their three-year degree to attain their doctorates.
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.”
