Our current suite of exhibitions includes:
A Tear in the Fabric presents new and existing works from nine Asian and Asian Australian artists who embrace distortion as a mode of disruption. In partnership with 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, the exhibition revolves around notions of aesthetic, material and conceptual interventions integrated into established forms of creative practice. Picking at the seams to make space for new narratives and artistic approaches, we see exploratory excursions into concepts of place, materiality, memory, identity and perception, manifesting in a diverse range of mediums.
Tea Ceremony in the Celestial Garden, is reminiscent of the famous Japanese food display ‘shokuhin sampuru’ or French pastries display in Paris, the cakes are mouth-watering, but not for consumption. The construction of the cakes in ceramics is labour-intensive, down to each sprinkle of hundreds and thousands. Their imaginary forms conjure a colourful, dream-like world. This project was created during a 2025 artist residency at the PumpHouse Albury.
Landscapes of Imagination: From the Collection, bringing together works from the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery Collection that reflect the enduring artistic allure of Hill End. This historic village has captured the imaginations of artists drawn to its layered histories, dramatic terrain, and evocative sense of place.

Journalist Adam Courtenay returns to Bathurst for his new book which examines the life of one of Australia’s high-selling authors, his father Bryce Courtenay.

Dynamic, complex, driven: Bryce Courtenay was all of these as well as one of Australia’s most beloved authors. To his son Adam, he was larger than life, mercurial, and impossible to know completely. In this moving, unforgettable memoir, Adam searches for the real Bryce.

Several years after his death, Bryce still looms large in Adam’s life. In seeking to understand his father, who made so many people happy with his books, Adam recounts his own 1960s and 1970s childhood, Bryce’s career in advertising and his metamorphosis into bestselling novelist.
