Disability‑led show in Bathurst

Bathurst Regional Art Gallery is showing *Acts of Inheritance*, an exhibition of new work by 17 disabled artists from We Are Studios, through May 3 in Bathurst, New South Wales. (bathurstart.com.au) The exhibition opened on February 7, 2026, in BRAG’s main gallery as a partnership with We Are Studios, a disability-led, artist-run initiative based in Blacktown in Western Sydney. (bathurstart.com.au) (artsoutwest.org.au) BRAG says the show examines identity as something “lived, layered and continually remade,” with artists drawing on family stories, disability, mental health and changing ideas of self. (bathurstart.com.au) The works span several forms, including Jane Thatcher’s music video, Timothy W. Martin’s wrestling-themed installation, Adrienne Proud’s jewellery and Miah Tito-Barratt’s cloudscape *Nebulous*. (abc.net.au) Jordan Valageorgiou, a co-founder of We Are Studios, curated the show and wrote in the exhibition essay that it is “a raw, gutsy and honest exposé” by the artists. (abc.net.au) (bathurstart.com.au) Valageorgiou told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the collective wanted artists to work at full scale and range, without what he called “the tyranny of low expectations” often applied to disabled artists. (abc.net.au) The Bathurst show also sits inside a wider regional program shift at BRAG in early 2026, with new director Amanda Crews joining the gallery the same week the exhibition opened. (artsoutwest.org.au) BRAG extended *Acts of Inheritance* beyond the gallery walls through its digital platforms in the Bathurst central business district, and it scheduled free Saturday exhibition tours during the run. (artsoutwest.org.au) (visitnsw.com) For visitors, the practical details are simple: the exhibition is free, it runs at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery until May 3, 2026, and the artists listed by BRAG range from Aili Brenton to Eden Young.
