About Now Presenting

In the 42 years that the NIAD Studio has been in operation, generations of artists have passed through our doors to commence lifelong careers as visual artists.

This collection features work by artists who are newer on the NIAD roster. Despite their short time in the studio, it is clear they have begun to establish themselves in the community and develop their voice as artists. Studio practice at NIAD happens one day at a time, there is a real excitement to a blank canvas or fresh mound of clay to mold that is palpable in the works presented here.
