EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Bathurst Regional Art Gallery is strongly committed to audience development and has an active and lively range of Education Programs. The aim of these programs is to reach as many different groups of visitors as possible and to principally connect people with art.

The Gallery regularly presents several children’s exhibitions, workshops, excursions and talks for students aged between five and 16 years.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAMS conducted by local artists provide innovative activities for children.

The gallery also develops and facilitates biannual seminars (Central West Ceramics Focus 2004 and Central West Print Focus 2006) aimed at providing regional access to high quality workshops, masterclasses, lectures and discussion panels.

Free guided tours of the Gallery are available to school groups, bus tours and community groups and visits to the Hill End residency cottages can also be arranged.
