National Art School Open Day

The National Art School is Australia’s leading fine art school, with an unrivalled studio-based teaching model that has delivered a rich tradition of artistic practice and generations of world-renowned alumni for the past 100 years. Leading into the 21st Century, NAS provides a progressive and holistic art education, and invites the public to join them on Open Day to share their creative community. You have the questions; they have the answers. Curious to know what student life is like at NAS, or unsure about what the next steps are after high school? Everyone is welcome at Open Day, from those considering art as a career to anyone simply curious about what happens behind the school’s historic sandstone walls. The best part? It's all free. In 2020, NAS Open Day is reconfigured so visitors can walk through campus safely to meet teachers and students and watch live demonstrations across artistic disciplines, from ceramics to print making. The two-hour tours are designed to give an overview of the school as well as offering a detailed insight into the student experience. NAS’s outstanding courses and facilities provide students with in-depth face-to-face training with teachers who are successful practising artists with decades of experience. In line with government guidelines, NAS practices strict hygiene and social distancing protocols in studios and across campus.
