This Friends Night we have been invited to a special behind the scenes event. Join us as we visit the 2026 ANU School of Art & Design Honours Graduates in their studios, located in the historic A-block building on campus.

Friends can enjoy wandering between each studio to witness the student's thesis progress, and hear more on their material practice and conceptual direction ahead of the SoAD end of year Graduating Exhibition. Enjoy getting to know the next generation of Canberra artists and makers.

While the Drill Hall is closed for roof remediation Friends events will take place at alternate venues on and off campus. If you require accessibility accommodations or a visitor Personal Emergency Evacuation plan please contact friends.dhg@anu.edu.au
