Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, December 6 to February 2:
Void: Contemporary Aboriginal artistic practice from across the country. Curated by Emily McDaniel, featuring existing works across the mediums of drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, video and photography.
Home: Gunhigal Nguambang Wiradyuri Mayiny: Works by students from ten public schools in the Central Tablelands region who participated in the Home Program. The Home Program is a series of workshops, virtual excursions and embedded framework in schools looking at contemporary Aboriginal art, language and culture.
Louise Kerr: Canis Lupus familiaris: Explores the ancient relationship between humans and dogs, a bond that can be traced back thousands of years. Drawing inspiration from Papua New Guinean and African sculpture, Kerr uses the coil-basket technique to create three-dimensional dogs that are painted and enhanced with very fine twine and clay.
Backyard Bila: Take a deep dive into Wiradyuri art, culture and language with this fun interactive art piece. Audiences of all ages can decorate their own design of local fish, yabby or platypus and watch it come to life.
Orange Regional Gallery, December 14 to February 9:
Ros Auld: Adventures in Ceramics: The idea of making place or place-making is intrinsic to the work of Ros Auld. Based in her studio at Borenore for forty years, the space in which she works is a direct response to the landscape around her, Adventures in Ceramics presents a practice that playfully blurs boundaries between medium and process, form and function.
Bill Moseley: A Lake, a Forest and the Dark Voice of the Sea: Hill End artist Bill Moseley brings together two distinctly different periods of media to reframe and express the sublime. Working with old and new technologies, ambrotypes and digital film, Moseley taps into powerful emotions inspired by the experience of nature.
Cowra Regional Art Gallery, December 15 to February 2:
