Public Programs: Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest

Penrith Regional Gallery
& The Lewers Bequest

PUBLIC PROGRAMS

The Gallery runs an extensive range of public programs to complement the permanent collection, the Gallery site, temporary exhibitions and major national and community events. These programs are designed to enhance visitor enjoyment and understanding, and ensure that the Gallery services a wide variety of people.

The Gallery’s public program of events includes lectures, tours, forums, artists' talks, curators' talks, professional development seminars, musical performances, workshops and children’s activities.

The grounds and some indoor spaces are also available for hire for independent functions, wedding photographs and performances.

Guided tours are offered for groups free of charge on request, although bookings are required.

For further information about Public Programs, please contact Naomi McCarthy, Education & Public Programs Officer at the Gallery on (02) 4735 1100 or email: nmccarthy@penrith.nsw.gov.au .

The Gallery Sculpture Trail

The Gallery Sculpture Trail through the gardens is an interactive program that includes drama activities, listening and looking games and a drawing activity, especially suited for infants and primary students.

The Bathhouse Projects

Originally the Lewers Outdoor bathroom, the space is intimate and intriguing and lends itself to fun and funky, mysterious and magical or quirky and offbeat installations.

We are calling for proposals from high schools to hold an exhibition in this space. All proposals must include a conceptual justification and a description with images of the works to be installed.

This is an excellent opportunity for students to examine the role of the gallery in contemporary practice. Phone Naomi on 02 4735 1100 for more information.

REMEMBER: The Gallery is a regional resource. If you have any ideas or suggestions about ways you would like to work with us or particular workshops you would like your students to experience phone Naomi, our Education and Public programs coordinator on 02 4735 1100, to discuss your ideas.
