Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) celebrates the breadth of creativity in our own backyard this Spring with two new exhibitions by Central West NSW artists.
In the Main Gallery, a mid-career survey by Hill-End based Nicole Welch, Transformations: Image, Time & Landscape surveys 27 years of practice exploring relationships between landscape, the body, and memory. In the Foyer Gallery, Five Decades: Studies in Realism by Bathurst-based Graham Lupp presents an exclusive look at studies made by the artist during formative moments of his expansive career. Plus: our vibrant display of visitor-made artworks in Made by You has been extended across our OUT THERE Digital Platforms | TAFE Screens until summer.
