The School of Art is very proud of our Emerging Artist Support Scheme, otherwise known as EASS. Patrons of EASS come to a special preview of the graduating exhibition and offer a range of awards and prizes to our graduates - anything from subscriptions, cash and materials through to exhibitions and residencies. Both EASS and our many fine patrons play an integral role in keeping the Canberra art scene vibrant and exciting, and we're very pleased to see our graduates launch out into the world with so many rich prospects ahead of them.
