As winter settles in, I wanted to share what’s coming up at A Thousand Words Gallery over the next few months.
One of the great joys of running the gallery is seeing familiar faces return time and again, often bringing friends along to discover a new exhibition, enjoy a coffee and homemade cake, and spend time in the beautiful surroundings of Carcoar. Located in The Saddlery, the gallery has become a place where stories are shared, conversations begin, and creativity is celebrated. We have an exciting program ahead, and I’d love to welcome you through the doors.
Drawings & Musings
25 June – 2 August
Every finished artwork begins with a mark, a thought or a curiosity. Featuring Spencer Calveley, Jaq Davies, Stephanie Field, Karen James, Wayne Roberts, Brenda Stace Chat and Ruth Stone, Drawings & Musings offers a rare glimpse into the creative process through sketches, studies and finished works that reveal the journey from idea to artwork.
Quiet Corners: Isbester & Larsen
20 August – 13 September
Official Opening: Saturday 22 August
Artists David Isbester and Peter Larsen turn their attention to Carcoar’s hidden beauty in Quiet Corners. Through paintings and sketches inspired by our village’s streets, buildings, and landscapes, they capture the charm and character of the places we pass every day. If you see them wandering around town with a sketchbook, be sure to say hello!
