The Postgrad Show 2023
Visit NAS Galleries, The Drawing Gallery, and open studios to experience fresh, progressive and bold works from our outstanding class of 2023 – the next generation of Australian artists.
NAS is proud to present the work of our 2023 Master of Fine Art (MFA) graduate students and Graduate Diploma of Fine Art (GDFA) students.
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 and printmaking and sculpture, exhibited throughout the NAS campus.
“We are enormously proud of all our BFA, MFA and DFA graduating students for 2023,” 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.”
