Exhibition Opening // Acts of Inheritance and Pattern Recognition
2026-02-07 11:00 - 13:00 | Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, 70-78 Keppel Street, Bathurst, 2795
Join BRAG in celebrating the opening of their first exhibitions of the year, welcoming a vibrant and ambitions new year of artistic programming in Central West NSW.
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.
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 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.

Julie Goodwin ‘Your Time Starts Now’ Tour
2026-02-07 19:30 - 21:30 | Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre, 105 William Street, Bathurst, New South Wales, 2795, Australia
Australia’s beloved home cook, media personality and best-selling author Julie Goodwin is hitting the road in 2026 with her first-ever national live tour.

This two-hour live show is part cooking demonstration, part heart-to-heart chat, and 100% Julie.

Co-hosted by her longtime friend and award-winning broadcaster, David Rabbetts (Rabbit). With their undeniable chemistry honed over years co-hosting breakfast radio together, the show promises laughs, tears, and a whole lot of heart.

Whether you’re a die-hard MasterChef fan or someone who’s followed Julie throughout her career, this is an unmissable evening of food, friendship and fierce honesty.

Your Time Starts Now is not just a cooking demonstration – it’s an invitation into Julie’s world. A space where food and storytelling collide, where vulnerability is strength, and where laughter and tears often sit at the same table:

* A live 2 hour theatre experience like no other – warm, candid, and laugh-out-loud funny

* Julie cooking on stage, sharing stories, techniques and recipes

* Honest reflections on her extraordinary life: from overnight fame on MasterChef to the very real mental health struggles that followed

* Readings from her 2024 memoir ‘Your Time Starts Now’

* Conversations with “Rabbit” that are equal parts hilarious and deeply moving

* Audience Q&A and interaction that makes the event feel like dinner at your best mate’s place – just with a few extra guests.

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.
Bathurst Regional Art Gallery is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

Ella Hooper – Summer Tour

Ella Hooper is hitting the road this summer bringing a sharp, heartfelt edge to her ever-evolving take on Americana. Ella’s gift for story-telling and humour shines as she fronts a dynamic band, laced with fiddle, slide guitar, warm group harmonies and more than a little grit.

Playing some favourites from Small Town Temple the album that debuted at No.1 on the Australian Country chart, Ella will also be sharing a sneak peek of new music recorded in Nashville in 2025.

There are bar room stompers, spectral ballads with a contemporary edge, and hooks sharp enough to draw blood.

Call it Americana, call it alt-country, call it what you like. Hooper puts it this way: “Can you really ‘go country’ if you’re from the country in the first place?”

A year after Bill Dickerson fell to his death on a worksite, his widow has received no explanation about what happened.
She hires Ryan Bradley, who has just returned to the remote town of Nashville as a lawyer, to get answers. Was it suicide? An accident? Or murder? In small towns, nothing is quite what it seems.
