The National Art School, museum-goers and parents are the clear winners in the arts sector of the NSW budget
this year. The scheme was to end in December but will carry beyond the March election to June 30, 2023 after a $22 million injection.Under the scheme, parents can redeem $100 every calendar year to offset the cost of cultural activities for children up to 18 years.
NAS’s master plan and final business case are complete, Arts Minister Ben Franklin said. “In this budget we are not committing to the full $300 million because there are still other projects that need to be funded but we wanted to send the message that this project was a particularly important one. NAS has called the former Darlinghurst Gaol home since 1922, celebrating 100 years of teaching at this location this year.
“The funding will enable design and planning work to create a 21st-century art school where art and creativity are central to the community.”“We will build state-of-the-art studios to enable graduates to become leading artists telling our NSW stories to the world.
