SUMMARY:Maker Space
DESCRIPTION:Head to Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) for our Maker’s Space activities of collage and colouring for our current exhibitions!  \nMaterials and stool provided\nFREE\, self-guided session\nNo experience required\nAll ages welcome\, children must be supervised \nBRAG is open:\n10am – 5pm Tuesday through Friday\n10am – 2pm Saturday & Sunday \nAbout the Exhibitions \nWe Are Studios: Acts of Inheritance\nActs of Inheritance presents new work from seventeen Disabled artists who explore identity as something lived\, layered and continually remade. We come to know ourselves through small\, everyday acts and performances – our own and those of others\, families\, cultures and communities as they leave their mark upon us.\nSome artists revisit family stories or inherited acts; others reflect on Disability\, mental health\, and shifting perceptions of self and how we perform it. Here\, inheritance is not fixed or predetermined\, but enacted through the choices we make\, the stories we tell and the ways we show up for one another.\nThrough these works\, Acts of Inheritance invites us to imagine identity as something performed in ongoing dialogue between who we have been\, who we are becoming and the worlds that shape us. \nWe Are Studios is a 100% Disability-led\, artist-run initiative empowering Disabled Western Sydney artists to thrive.\nArtists: Aili Brenton\, Virginia Bucknell\, Ria Cirera-Cruz\, Taylah Devlin\, Holly-lee Dickson\, Georgina Evans\, Nina Frankie\, Leanne Larwood\, Timothy W. Martin\, Grazia Napoletano\, Adrienne Proud\, Rebecca Sciroli\, Kiri Smith\, Jane Thatcher\, Miah Tito-Barratt\, Jordan Valageorgiou\, Eden Young. \nCurated by We Are Studios Collective.\nThe project is supported by the New South Wales Government through Create NSW and by the Australian Government through Creative Australia\, its principal arts investment and advisory body. \nLiz Bryan: Pattern Recognition\nLiz Bryan is a visual artist and designer working across drawing\, painting\, textiles\, sculpture and digital media. Her practice is shaped by an ongoing interest in esoteric knowledge\, mythologies and ritual\, and engages with themes of womanhood\, place\, and the hidden or overlooked histories of feminine experience. Moving fluidly between art and craft\, Liz’s work also reflects on the intersections of science\, mysticism and material knowledge.\nFor Pattern Recognition at BRAG\, Liz presents a body of work that explores the microcosmic world and the underlying geometry inherent in biological structures. Informed by sacred geometry and esoteric traditions outlined in Plato’s Timaeus\, the exhibition draws on the symbolism of the five Platonic solids—earth\, water\, air\, fire and ether—as metaphors for both physical and metaphysical systems. The relationship between microcosm and macrocosm\, particularly as seen in DNA structures and natural patterning\, underpins the work.\nThrough this work Liz explores the esoteric potential of shape\, line\, colour and form. Historic textile motifs\, including ogee forms and repeating half-brick patterns\, further inform the visual language of the exhibition. Through sculptures and paintings\, Pattern Recognition reveals pattern as a connective force—linking matter\, meaning and the unseen structures that shape our world. \nBathurst Regional Art Gallery is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW. \nBanner image credits: (Left) Timothy W.

SUMMARY:All Fools' Ball
DESCRIPTION:Dress up in your best swing dance outfit\, put on your dancing shoes and party like it’s 1946!\n\nTo celebrate 150 years since the railway arrived in Bathurst\, the Bathurst Rail Museum is inviting the community to dance the night away with the Mitchell Conservatoriums CONnections Big Band at the All Fools’ Ball.\n\nThe All Fools’ Ball was a popular event in Bathurst\, traditionally held around April Fools Day in various locations over the years. For the Bathurst railway community\, it was a great opportunity to socialise. The venue for the evening – the Railway Institute\, home to the Bathurst Rail Museum – was for learning the trades of the railway\, but it was also a community hub for dances\, sports and other social activities.\n\n “The Railway Institute certainly knows how to put some kick into its social events\, as was exemplified at their All Fools Ball…”\n -National Advocate\, 10 October 1936
