National Art School Gallery

Overview

The National Art School is Australia's most important art institutions. From its home in the old Darlinghurst Gaol, the independent fine art school fosters local and international artistic talents through its short courses, residency and scholarship initiatives and jam-packed roster of exhibitions. In 2006, the school refurbished the historical A-Wing of the former gaol, which was built in 1841, and unveiled the National Art School Gallery. It is here that graduate and post-graduate student exhibitions are held, plus up to four major exhibitions each year.
