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.

SUMMARY:School Holidays Workshop // Shape\, Colour\, Pattern\, Science!
DESCRIPTION:School Holidays Workshop // Shape\, Colour\, Pattern\, Science! \n\n\n\nThursday 16th April 2025\, 10:30am-12:00pm \n\n\n\nAges: 6-17 \n\n\n\nGet creative in this hands-on workshop exploring shape\, colour\, pattern and science! Together with visual artist and designer Liz Bryan\, we will explore the shapes and patterns that are repeated in nature: from DNA to Space! Participants will create their own geometric sculpture from cardboard\, wood\, and acrylic paint inspired by Liz Bryan’s Foyer Gallery exhibition Pattern Recognition. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will include a short tour of Pattern Recognition by Liz Bryan. \n\n\n\n$10 members\, $15 non-members\, no experience required\, bookings essential \n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\n\nLiz Bryan: Pattern Recognition\n\n\n\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. \n\n\n\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. \n\n\n\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. \n\n\n\nBathurst Regional Art Gallery is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW. \n\n\n\nBanner Image: Liz Bryan\, ‘Elemental Transmissions: Water’\, 2025\, found and repurposed wood\, acrylic paint\, gold and silver gilding.
