Upcoming Exhibitions

Bravo! A Donaldson Family Exhibition

Open 10am- 4pm daily from Friday 2 October until Sunday 11 October 

Donaldson siblings Karin, Mike, Chris and Sadhana have exhibited together at BDAS since 1995.

This is their 10th exhibition, and light-hearted elements of the show celebrate their joy in togetherness.

Chris booked the gallery after their 2023 exhibition, anticipating a swan song for the family shows.

Sadly, Chris died after a short illness in 2024 but was very keen for the exhibition to go ahead.

Karin’s work includes pastels, printmaking, mixed media and hand built ceramics. 

Mike’s photos of the Kimberley reflect his love for the region. 

Chris’s retrospective work includes new and old favourites on loan from friends and family.

Sadhana has ceramic sculpture and domestic ware from her wood kiln and her electric kiln. 

Official Opening on Friday 2  October at 6pm 

Fiesta with live music on Saturday 10th  October 2pm-4pm
