Nearly there – two weeks from signing off on NAS’s old “new” building; photo ArtsHub.
Swinging into action in just two weeks time, the National Art School (NAS) has added fifty new studios, an archive resource centre, climate-controlled collections store, new sculpture workshops, seminar room, and bolstered office space to its assets. Not bad for a heritage site – the oldest jail in Australia – and arguably the oldest art school, with the first documented painting and drawing classes held in 1843.
