The Code of Practice for Visual Arts, Craft and Design can be used as a starting point for uni and tafe students to learn about all aspects of what it means to be a contemporary visual artist, craftsperson or designer in Australia.
Teaching staff and academics can also use the Code of Practice to enrich learning resources, professional practice teaching and when engaging artists.
The Code of Practice is free to access and can help students with their coursework, engagement with the industry as emerging artists, and understanding their rights when it comes to working in the arts.
Tertiary Events
NAVA hosts a range of professional development events throughout the year for students and academics. Opportunities range from Code of Practice webinars to practical artist-led workshops and industry expert talks.
