National Art School Open Day 2021

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 us on Open Day to share our creative community.

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.

There's five different two-hour sessions to choose from. There will still be plenty of opportunity to see what life is like for students at NAS, with all our ceramics, printing, sculpture and photomedia studios open, the chance to drop in on painting classes, and to enjoy shows in our exhibition spaces.

This year’s Open Day will run with public health and safety protocols in place. In line with government guidelines, all visitors will register on entry, masks are compulsory for all spaces, indoors and outdoors, and social distancing and hygiene measures will be maintained in studios and across campus.

You have the questions; we have the answers.

Curious to know what student life is like at NAS, or unsure about what the next steps are after high school? See us at our course enquiry desk, schedule a one-on-one advice session or pop into a degree information session running all day at Open Day.

The best part, it's all free.
