Dancing the old fashioned way, with a another in your arms. Waltzes, Tangos, Saunters, Jive and Swing in a sequenced way.

Join Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) and Wiradyuri Traditional Owners Central West Aboriginal Corporation (WTOCWAC) for a Dhuluny Documentary Screening.

In 2024, The Dhuluny Project was a series of events commemorating the 200-year anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law on 14 August 1824 in the Bathurst region and the ensuing frontier violence. Dhuluny means the direct or gospel truth, and the commemoration offered visitors the opportunity to share and understand the true history of our Country and celebrate the resilience of the Wiradyuri Nation.

1 year on, and 201 years since the Declaration, we will take a look back on key moments from The Dhuluny Project and watch new documentary ‘The Declaration’, exploring the cultural and historical significance of several sites on Wiradyuri Country.

In 2024, BRAG presented major exhibition Dhuluny: the war that never ended, curated by Wiradyuri/Kamilaroi curator Jonathan Jones with Wirribee Aunty Leanna Carr.

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.
