BLOTCH

Scraps
1 July - 5 August 2026

A collection of cool cats and pop‑culture figures on canvas, blending graffiti‑art energy with bold lettering, cartoon forms and abstract shapes. Individual and group pieces share colours and motifs, exploring character, nostalgia and rebellion. Polished yet raw, the works channel the movement and attitude of street art.

Troyene Evans

After the Fire
5 August - 9 September 2026

A painter and photographer who lost everything in the January 9 Harcourt fire presents an exhibition of five acrylic and mixed‑media works created between March and May 2026. The pieces blend whimsy and tragedy, expressing survival, hope, and renewal in the aftermath of devastating loss.

Paul Williams

Organised Amongst Disorganised
9 September - 14 October 2026

This artist has explored many mediums, finding a strong creative voice in abstract painting over the past four years. Working in bright, vibrant acrylics and pens on canvas, the recent body of work reflects a deepening confidence in colour, expression, and the joy discovered through ongoing creative exploration.

Deanna Neville

Hello Sky
14 October - 18 November 2026

This local photographer presents a 16‑work series drawn from a decade of capturing a small Walmer hill as part of the shifting skyscape. The photos were taken during daily walks and rides, and show the hill's shifting presence with accompanying clouds, blue skies and changing seasons.

Spring Gully Artists

Spring Gully Art
18 November - 23 December 2026

Six Spring Gully Artists - Roberta Ireland, Chris Vigor, Trish Churchill, Elizabeth O’Meara, Val Wellings and Campbell McCullough - each present two works created in the past five years. Using watercolour, acrylic, pastel, pen and ink, and collage, they explore local landscapes, overseas impressions and expressive floral themes with diverse creative styles.

Blue Banded Artists' Group

Serotiny
23 December 2026 - 27 January 2027

Serotiny is a cohesive collection of paintings and drawings created by the six artists who form the Blue Banded Artists' Group. Created between mid-2024 and May 2026, the landscapes depict Leanganook (Mount Alexander) in its pre-fire state through to the complex landscape of recovery currently visible following the January 2026 Harcourt bushfires.

Mt Alexander Photographic Society

A Local View
27 January - 3 March 2027

Around 30 photographs will showcase images taken in 2026–27 within the shire by Mt Alexander Photographic Society members. The exhibition may also include contributions from local students, with the aim of promoting the club, encouraging new members and providing a valuable team‑building experience for participants.

Yuna Chun

Where Sight Ends
3 March - 7 April 2027

Inspired by the space and air of Castlemaine and Central Victoria, these works reflect stillness, light and expansive landscape. Paintings on paper, panels and framed drawings include a joined 100cm diptych with smaller pieces. Watercolour and acrylic trace how paint spreads and settles, mapping space as felt rather than seen.

Brett Davies

Outside In
7 April - 12 May 2027

Relief carvings depicting both abstract and natural forms. Botanical shapes such as gum nuts and leaves emerge from solid wooden blocks that hang on the wall, while abstract carvings explore movement and challenge spatial perception, with shapes appearing to recede or disappear into the wall’s surface.

Agitation Hill Artists

Observations
12 May - 16 June 2027

Approximately 25 works in oil, watercolour, pastel, graphite, pen and ink, photography and hand printing. All subjects focus on observations from nature, landscape, animals, still life, portraiture and life‑drawing. The exhibition showcases the work of a mixed group of enthusiastic artists with varying levels of experience.
