14.01.2022 As a Maker, Designer and now Gallery owner and educator the ANU School of Art is where it all began for me during my 4 years as a student and one year as an artist in residence. Many of my peers, represented artists and idols went through those very same doors. Those doors are now looking to be shut. Due to the economic impacts of the pandemic ANU is proposing to close the ANU School of Art & Design Jewellery & Object Workshop as of February 2021 (among other drastic cuts to... the School of Art and Design). #ResistCutsAtANU If you have concerns about these cuts, you might also like to write a letter of support and send it to: ANU Vice Chancellor, Prof. Brian Schmidt - [email protected] Dean of the College, Prof. Rae Frances - [email protected] Head of the Research School of Humanities and the Arts, Prof. Paul Pickering - [email protected] ANU Organisational Change feedback email address - [email protected] Millan Pintos-Lopez, the local NTEU workplace staff delegate - [email protected] See more

12.01.2022 What a disappointing, anger inducing and short sighted proposal for the future of the School of Art and Design. Object based workshops, including the Jewellery and Object workshop are the first to be cut. This workshop in particular has been instrumental in nurturing and developing some of the country’s best makers and designers. The ANU has proposed major cuts to the arts and revisited plans for a single administration to run the School of Art and Design and School of Musi...c. It plans to wind back the Gallery, close the Furniture, Jewellery and Object Workshops and merge the world-class Glass Workshop with Ceramics, cuts that one prominent artist says will have a devastating impact on Canberra’s arts sector and the students currently enrolled. The Animation and Video major is also considered to be too costly and will need to go. The proposals are included in the Managing Change Document in response to the ANU Recovery Plan adopted to deal with the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ANU needs to save $103 million a year to 2023 and lose hundreds of positions. - text from The Riot Act
