It’s free to submit your local events.

Join us for a monthly(ish) series of intimate performances by some of the region's best young talent. Bringing music and art together for the first time, Studio Sessions invites you to immerse yourself in our creative space and enjoy a slow Winter session at The Corner Store Gallery.
The Journey Person is a collective of local artisans and designers based in Central West NSW. Our Handmade Popup is a carefully curated selection of high quality, locally made wares. You’ll find jewellery, art, ceramics, clothing, hats, textiles, metalwork, children’s toys, kitchen knives, homewares, flowers, plants, sculpture, candles, stationary, DIY craft supplies and more!
The Corner Store Gallery profiles the best of established and emerging Australian creatives, with curator Madeline Young seeking out colourful and visually arresting aesthetics in either art or design. As an artist herself, Madeline pursues opportunities outside of the established Regional Gallery or informal market stall channels to reach new artists, creators, and audiences.
The What’s On calendar covers arts and heritage events happening across the NSW Central West in the local government areas of Bathurst Region, Blayney, Cabonne, Cowra, Forbes, Lachlan, Lithgow, Mid-Western Region, Oberon, Orange, Parkes and Weddin.
