We had the immense pleasure of hosting our Emma Lewisham Australian community event at the National Art School in March 2023. The event team at NAS are world-class, they collaborated with us to deliver an exceptional experiential event for our industry guests with artist, Florence + The Machine. What we created together on the night will be remembered for many years to come. We highly recommend the venue and their services.

Cellblock Theatre is truly spectacular, from drinks and canapes on the courtyard into a magnificent dining hall our guests were in awe of the venue. The staff at NAS could not have been more hospitable.

LEO LIN executed a photoshoot at the National Art School in March 2023. From initial meeting all the way through to execution of the shoot, Jerome, Olivia and the whole event team were so accommodating and really made a big effort to ensure we had the spaces we requested. And despite shooting on a 38 degree day, they were always looking out for us and lending a helping hand. We would love to work with them again in the future!
