Three into one won't go. A radical reorganisation plan for Sydney's tertiary art education institutions has readied the nation's oldest art school to be gobbled up by the University of NSW. The Baird government is washing its hands of the small but beautiful National Art School in the historic Darlinghurst jail initially designed by the convict architect Francis Greenway.
As part of the deal, the University of Sydney has all but surrendered $7 million worth of students at the Sydney College of Arts at Callan Park (the buildings are also Greenway work) to the UNSW School of Art & Design at Paddington.
