The School has good connections to the wider community, and the public are encouraged to visit the gallery spaces as well as attend the regular public lecture program, Art Forum, and attend the School of Art Annual Lecture, delivered each year by a distinguished scholar from the arts community. We enjoy strong international connections with other art schools and, through an International Exchange Network, students from the School are able to study at a wide range of prestigious institutions around the world. The Exchange also encourages students from countries outside Australia to come and work in the School's excellent facilities. A long-established artist-in-residence program brings some of the world's most experienced artists to live and work within the School, exposing students to the work and processes of artists of the highest calibre. Canberra has a thriving art scene and and is home to many of the nation's premier institutions and the School draws on these for its teaching programs. Finally, the world-class research culture that ANU is renowned for provides a stimulating backdrop to study in the School.
