Overview

ARTside-in! is a three-stage outreach program designed by the Public Programs Department to reach Senior Secondary Visual Arts students (Years 10, 11 and 12) in New South Wales who would otherwise have limited opportunity to access the Gallery's collection, exhibitions and services.

Students who are disadvantaged by geographic, economic and cultural factors are able to participate in the Gallery and wider art world, making valuable connections to the Visual Arts syllabus, while discovering more about arts careers and potential professional pathways for their futures.

The Art Gallery of New South Wales has a long history of engaging with a diverse range of audiences in the Visual Arts - primarily through its permanent collection - in new and innovative ways. The programs and resources developed and presented by the Public Programs Department attract a large audience, with a significant proportion coming from the diverse education sector, particularly secondary schools.

ARTside-in! is an exciting project that enables students to participate in the culture of the Gallery and the wider artworld, and for the Gallery to learn more about its collection and exhibitions from key audiences such as students and teachers, both onsite at the Gallery, and in the school environment.
