Description

International Women's Day

Morning Tea and Guided Textile Collection Tour

Friday, 6 March 2026, 10:30am

Join us to celebrate the important women in your life, and the outstanding female artists within our community. The event will also highlight Sora Community Services - a local service that support local women and families.

The event will include a guided tour through the Tamworth Regional Gallery's permanent collection and Nationally Significant Textile Collection. This is a chance to better understand how our collection documents the change in the significance textile practice over the past 50 years, and the tour will emphasise the transition from textiles beings viewed as 'women's work', to their recognition as a valued art form.

The behind the scenes tour will highlight the gender equity presented by the Gallery's permanent collection - correcting the historical disparity in research, representation and recognition of women in the arts.

Come along to enjoy a free morning tea, including freshly baked treats and light refreshments. Dietary requests can be accommodated, please mention in your booking.

Enjoy a relaxed morning of delicious food and artful insights.

For over 100 years, Tamworth Regional Gallery has provided access to the arts in a regional centre. The Gallery first opened on 1 June 1919 as the Tamworth Art Salon and Art Library. It was established with a gift of 100 artworks and art reference books by the local artist and collector John Salvana ‘to encourage art in the country’.

. Salvana believed in providing an art gallery where young children and those with an interest might be encouraged to study art and to learn from viewing original works at first hand.

Education continues to be a key focus of the Gallery to this day. Tamworth Regional Gallery is ideally located in the heart of Tamworth’s CBD on Peel Street, close to shops, parking and the new riverside precinct.

The Gallery offers a rotating program of touring exhibitions of national significance, alongside curated exhibitions of works by regional artists and exhibitions from our permanent collection.

Every year, Tamworth Regional Gallery delivers a rich and varied series of workshops, lectures, artist talks, events and engaging public programs.

The Gallery houses purpose-built exhibition spaces, conservation collection storage, a retail shop, the Esther Halliday Studio and a research library, and is a fully accessible space. Tamworth Regional Gallery is the result of over 100 years of sustained support from our community, alongside forward planning and investment by Tamworth Regional Council.
Tamworth is a regional city that supports a surrounding area of towns and outlying villages. The Gallery, too, provides support for both regional and remote communities in outlying areas. We embrace our location in a diverse cultural landscape, and our responsibility to deliver to our public as part of a close community.

We aim to be inclusive, and to genuinely and actively engage with our communities. The Gallery seeks to foster, promote and enhance understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts through its permanent collection, temporary exhibitions and public programs.
