The National Art School Gallery encourages appreciation and critical perspectives of art and its role in society through direct engagement with artists and original works of art.
The NAS Gallery provides a context for the understanding and interpretation of historical and contemporary practice for the enjoyment of the public and the NAS communities of students, staff and alumni.
The program consists of research, publications, public programs, artist residencies, and exhibitions featuring multi-discipline group and solo projects by Australian and international artists, including the end of year showcase of graduating students.
The NAS Gallery is housed in the former A-Wing of the old Darlinghurst Gaol. Originally built between 1836-41, the building was refurbished and opened to the public in 2006.
