About the Exhibition

West of Central 2

Conceived as an exhibition responding to place, West of Central embraces artists who live and work across Wiradjuri Country in Central West NSW.

This Earth-centric exhibition honours artists’ care, concern, and respect for Country. Home to an increasing cohort of contemporary artists seeking connection, respite and balance, regional Australia is a place where artists have space to create, experiment and challenge. West of Central celebrates those who live and work regionally, positioning the regional as central to their practice.

First realised at BRAG in 2023, this second chapter, West of Central 2, invited artists from LGAs of Lachlan, Parkes, Forbes, Weddin, Cabonne, Cowra, Blayney, Orange, Mid-Western, Bathurst, Oberon and Lithgow to respond to the ecologies, histories, and communities of these places.

Artists: Adam Rish (Hill End), Gabrielle Bates (Kandos), Genevieve Carroll (Hill End), Graham Lupp (Bathurst), Gus Armstrong & Peter Swain (Kandos), Jonathan Jones (Bathurst), Laura Baker (Blayney), Nicola Mason (Napoleon Reef), Ros Auld (Borenore), Simone Darcy (Forbes), Steven Cavanagh (Hill End), Susan Baird (Hill End), the artHITects (Gary Carsley & Renjie Teoh) (Bathurst), Vicky Browne (Nullo Mountain).
