Visual Arts
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.
Gina Fairley is ArtsHub's Senior Contributor, after 12 years in the role as National Visual Arts Editor. She has worked for extended periods in America and Southeast Asia, as gallerist, arts administrator and regional contributing editor for a number of magazines, including Hong Kong based Asian Art News and World Sculpture News. She is an Art Tour leader for the AGNSW Members, and lectures regularly on the state of the arts. She is based in Mittagong, regional NSW.
