  • ANU School of Art & Design Gallery
The School of Art & Design hosts a lively program of exhibitions, events and public lectures across the year.

The gallery program critically frames Australian visual art practice, presents graduate and post-graduate work in a professional gallery context and reflects the international profile of the School.

The Gallery provides staff, students and the public the opportunity to view work by national and international artists, travelling exhibitions from across Australia and work from Canberra’s diverse artistic community.

The Gallery hosts the end of year Graduating Exhibition, which displays the achievements of our graduating students completing awards in undergraduate and postgraduate programs by coursework.

The School also opens its doors each year to the public for the Australian National University Open Day.
