Bathurst Arts Trail – Studio Preview Exhibition at T.Arts Gallery
2026-02-13 00:00 - 2026-02-27 23:59 | T.Arts Gallery, 75 Keppel Street, Bathurst, NSW, 2795, Australia
The Bathurst Arts Trail will hold an exhibition at T.Arts Gallery 75 Keppel St Bathurst from the 13th – 27th March 2026.
The artists of the Bathurst Arts Trail first opened their studio doors to the public back in November 2011 and it has proved to be very popular for both locals, visitors from Sydney and further afield.
From time to time the Trail artists hold a collective exhibition which provides the public with a glimpse into the varying styles and art forms that the artists enjoy. With diverse backgrounds, some with formal training, some from childhood beginnings and some who have been inspired by people met along the way the end results are as diverse as the artists themselves.
Perhaps some visitors to the exhibition may be inspired to take up and develop their own vision by visiting some of the talented artists from the Bathurst Arts Trail. For Bathurst locals they are just on your doorstep. Worth the effort? – of course it is.

About the Exhibitions
We Are Studios: Acts of Inheritance
Acts 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.
Some 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.
Through 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.
We Are Studios is a 100% Disability-led, artist-run initiative empowering Disabled Western Sydney artists to thrive.
Artists: 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.
Curated by We Are Studios Collective.
The 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.
Liz Bryan: Pattern Recognition
Liz 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.
For 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.
Through 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.

May Tea and Talks @ T.Arts Gallery
2026-05-16 14:30 - 16:00 | T.Arts Gallery, 75 Keppel Street, Bathurst, NSW, 2795, Australia
T.Arts is delighted to have Angela Kaden as our Artist of the Month in May. Her work is bright and vibrant. Angela will be the guest presenter at our May Tea and Talks from 2.30 on May 16 at the Gallery, 75 Keppel St Bathurst. Come along and join us for a fun, interesting talk and some yummy food. The cost is $25. Bookings are essential.
Here is her story:
Hello my name is Ange and I am a proud Quandamooka woman from Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) in Queensland.
I grew up living off the land fishing and hunting. We mostly lived on seafood.
I grew up being taught that our art is away to teach lessons and the old ways of our people. My aunty Kath Walker (Oodgeroo Noonuccal) was a famous poet and political activist for our people. And that’s where my paintings started when I was just little girl painting on paperbark off the trees from our island home. My paintings are what I feel at the time they all come from inside. I make my paintings affordable so everyone can enjoy them.

Morning Ragas at The Keystone
2026-05-24 10:00 - 12:00 | KeyStone 1889, 99 Keppel St, Bathurst, 2795
This is the second instalment of Evening Ragas at the Keystone. Morning ragas. As this system of Indian classical music is not only set to seasons, it is also set to times of day, so certain melody forms or Ragas can only be performed at the prescribed time. As the musicians tour the world playing this music it is common that the audiences are mostly exposed to evening ragas. So this is a rare opportunity to experience the morning music.
This concert will be very relaxed, the audience is encouraged to dress in comfortable clothes and bring a cushion, or use the seating provided of course. There will bear sick packs and chai available as an add on to the ticket price
( check link ). So come and enjoy some Sunday Morning Music and take a break from the hectic world. Once again there will be projections, this time Sunrise of the Ganges, that has been specifically designed by Sarangi student and artist Annabel McLure.
