Art and Design

Art and Design

Art and Design have always played a role in the dissemination and expression of complex ideas to large audiences. But in an age when we face challenges unprecedented in their complexity and threat to humanity, this role has probably never been more important.

Your support for our Art and Design funding opportunities will equip Australia’s next generation of creatives with the skills, ethics and adaptive approach they will need, both to preserve our past stories, and shape tomorrow’s conversations, for the benefit of all.

Impact story


The Sir John Storey portrait that needed a double take

The bequest of an intriguing Australian artwork celebrates the man behind RMIT’s longest-running scholarship program and deepens the family’s continuing ties with the University. It also set off some serious sleuthing by RMIT’s Art Collection team.
