Exhibitions

EMANATE showcases the works of ten graduating students, selected from the Bachelor of Fine Arts and Postgrad final exhibitions held at the National Art School Gallery and Raynor Hoff Project Space in 2024.

This interdisciplinary exhibition brings together 14 creative minds – including internationally recognised artists, photographers and thinkers from America and Australia – who respond to, capture, or reimagine the magical qualities of the landscape and the celebrated mid-century modern architecture found in the desert city.

Discover the talents and artwork of school students from across Northern NSW who have entered into the University of New England Schools Acquisitive Art Prize (UNESAP) and have been selected to be shown in the Let’s Hang It! exhibition.

This dynamic and popular annual exhibition features a selection of exceptional student artworks created for the art-making component of the HSC examination in Visual Arts in 2024. ARTEXPRESS 2025 celebrates students’ artistic excellence and provides insight into the issues that are important to them.

Stages is an ongoing series of portraits by Simms, honouring performers whose work spans music, theatre, dance and performance art. The series explores how presence is expressed — both onstage and off.

Lee Bethel explores the material and symbolic potential of paper, cutting and shaping it into intricate forms that cast shadows of memory, history, and meaning. A Way with Words is a powerful reflection on feminism, language, and domesticity, using song lyrics, political speeches, and names to honour and interrogate women’s experiences.

Cosima Scales’ paintings capture fleeting moments of domestic life — sunlight on floorboards, fruit on a table — transforming everyday scenes into quiet dramas. Balancing realism and painterliness, her works explore the rhythms of natural light and the subtle narratives of home. Personal Cinema invites viewers to find beauty and meaning in the ordinary.
