National Art School

With origins that can be traced back to 1873, the National Art School is a leading Australian visual arts institution with a rich tradition of artistic practice and generations of world-renowned alumni. Since 1922 they have occupied the old Darlinghurst gaol, an unrivalled sandstone campus that is both a colonial site of immense historical significance and a working school – with authentic artist studios, workshops, the NAS Gallery, specialist fine art Library and the famed Cell Block Theatre.
