Exhibition: Tegan Bailey ‘Was / Wasn't / Won't Be’
Tegan Bailey, Inheritance, 2025, monotype.
Was/Wasn’t/Won’t Be interrogates the archetypal roles and moral ideals that take root inside the female body. By investigating the cultural equation of womanhood with motherhood, the exhibition questions how reproductive function is used as a measure of worth and the quiet violence used to erase those who fall outside these scripts. The work serves as a site of reclamation, using art-making to explore the tension between maternal hope and the right to a self-determined identity.

From Hip Hop to Dance (and anything in between) this medium truly resonates with people of all ages, and they do not need any musical experience or skills to engage fully.
The workshop is a great way to encourage creative communication and confidence, and inspire positivity and team building within groups. It brings together auditory and kinaesthetic learning in an exciting session.
An Intro into Graphic Design
This hands-on workshop is open to people of all ages and skill levels - no prior design experience needed. Whether you’re completely new to graphic design or already experimenting with creative ideas, this session is designed to meet you where you’re at.
With a focus on logo design, we’ll explore the full creative process, from developing ideas and sketching concepts to refining designs and preparing them for print. You’ll learn how designers think, experiment, and turn rough ideas into polished visuals. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a clearer understanding of graphic design fundamentals and the confidence to keep creating.
Or you can choose to get an introduction to graphic design, learning how to develop ideas, sketch concepts and create your own logo from start to finish.

Work In Progress with Tania Le Petit, Rachelle Mascini, and Donna Longobardi
Ceramic artwork by Rachelle Mascini.
“These ceramic people are still figuring themselves out. Face, hair, hats - and a series that could go absolutely anywhere.”
Join us for a drink after work for our second Work in Progress Night for 2026! We will hear from contemporary jewellery artist Tania Le Petit, ceramicist Rachelle Mascini, and multidisciplinary maker Donna Longobardi.
From her early days studying Jewellery Design at Charles Sturt University to mastering the iridescent magic of anodised titanium, Tania Le Petit has pushed this lightweight industrial metal to its limits. Using hydraulic pressing, saw piercing and electric currents, she creates luminous colour, drawing inspiration from native Australian flowers and the transformative butterfly life cycle.
Based in Wagga Wagga, Rachelle Mascini studied Visual Arts (Ceramics) at the University of Newcastle and has exhibited across Australia and internationally, with work held in collections in the UK and the Netherlands. Currently, she is developing a new body of work, combining ceramics and oil painting inspired by the Murrumbidgee River.
Experimenting with the possibilities offered through photography, painting, print media and fibre art, Donna Longobardi draws inspiration from life in the Gilmore Valley, in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains. The shifting light, seasonal colours and rich textures of the land form the heart of her practice.
Work in Progress is a regular event in which artists and creatives are invited to show a piece of unfinished creative work (visual, performative, experimental and more), within a context of supportive critique and collaborative networking.
EXHIBITION: Echoes in the Bush Karen Walsh & Jennifer Forster
Exhibition: Echoes in the Bush
An extraordinary visual documentation of the black summer bushfires, over a six year period, by artists Karen Walsh and Jennifer Forster.
Artworks in this exhibition are a response to the raw immediacy, stillness, and complexity of the Australian bush that was deeply scared during the bush fire of 2020 in the Snowy Mountains area of Talbingo. By visiting this area every year since those devastating fires, artists Jennie and Karen have created works in situ, using the landscape not just as subject, but as collaborator, immersing in its rhythms, materials, and quiet authority.
The works in this exhibition are shaped by weather, time, and terrain: submerged paper in the creeks, charcoal from fire-blackened trees, and found objects that are used as drawing tools. The artists have been inspired to record through sketchbooks, multimedia drawings and paintings while being present in the bush, observing, listening, and making art in the moment.
This practice is as much about reverence, resilience and connection to the land and its recovery as it is about mark-making. From the reverent and haunting silence of their first trip into the fire affected area to the sounds of the recovering landscape with birdsong, wind in the trees and the hum of the bees, Jennie and Karen continue to document the area and honour the bush not just as a backdrop, but as a living system: unpredictable, powerful, and deeply textured.
Echoes in the Bush invites viewers to slow down and listen — not just to the artwork, but to the landscape behind it. It’s a journey into the heart of place, where creation and country speak in quiet harmony.
