In 1989, as part of a Commonwealth Government initiative to re-organise tertiary education, legislation was enacted by the New South Wales Parliament to transfer the governance of the City Art Institute from the NSW Institute of Arts to the University of New South Wales and became the College of Fine Arts. The University of New South Wales College Of Fine Arts Students' Association was an independent student organisation of the University and was accountable to the University Council. The aims of the Association were to oversee and encourage student activities within the College of Fine Arts, support affiliated Constituent Clubs, Associations and Societies, to provide materials, equipment and other facilities to students when necessary, represent a recognised means of communication between students, the College administration and the University, to promote co-operation between members and students in other educational institutions, to undertake other matters of interest as arises and to promote the welfare of students of the College. The Student Association also had representation on all College committees and boards and was financed by a compulsory fee collected by the College on behalf of the Association as part of enrolment procedure. All students of the College were members of the Students' Association of which the Student Representative Council was the elected executive and was a chapter of the UNSW Students' Union. The Students' Association was involved in on-campus ventures including The Palate Café, The Art Materials Store and various social activities. It was also involved in both on and offsite galleries, including: The Works Gallery: The Works Gallery was an on-campus gallery established in the Greene Road campus of the City Art Institute in September 1987. The Works Gallery was involved in local, travelling and exchange exhibitions. Arthaus Gallery: The Arthaus Gallery had its origins in the 'Butchers Exhibit', an independent artist run gallery located at 20 Palmer Lane, East Sydney, established by four students of the Alexander Mackie College, which ran from 1982 until 1984. The City Art Institute Students' Association took over the operation and maintained it as a gallery that catered for students and emerging artists, changing its name to the Arthaus Gallery. In 1990 the Gallery moved to new premises at 379 South Dowling Street, initially calling itself Arthaus Too to cover the transition period between the two premises. The Gallery was run by a committee of students from the College of Fine Arts, and other interested parties, and financed by the Student Association. The Arthaus Gallery was closed in August 1999. Kudos Gallery: Kudos Gallery opened on 23 September 1998 in Paddington. It was run by the Student Association of the College of Fine Arts. The objective of the Kudos Gallery was to facilitate the curation of exhibitions spanning across all schools, these being the School of Arts, School of Design and Applied Arts, School of Art History Theory, and School of Art Education. Representatives from each school formed committee members of Kudos Gallery Exhibition Committee. In 2007 Arc@UNSW became the new student organisation for Kensington and COFA campuses of the University of New South Wales. Arc@UNSW continued the administration of the Kudos Gallery.
