We’re open! 🎨
Warmth, energy and a strong sense of connection were the vibes for the opening of the Bridge Tenant Art Show 2026 at Mothership Studios today.
Curated by Dennis Golding, this free exhibition celebrates the stories, culture and creativity of Bridge Housing tenant artists. The exhibition runs from 1–6 June.
Jahmarley Dawson's cultural sharing during the Smoking Ceremony and Acknowledgement of Country set a welcoming tone for the joyful gathering. Tenant artist and performer Uncle Les Bateman captivated the room with the powerful sound of the yidaki, demonstrating his mastery of circular breathing while evoking the sounds of birds, animals and even the occasional truck heard on Country. Aunty Jenny Thomsen King and Curator Dennis Golding delighted guests as they shared reflections on their journey with an appreciative audience of tenant artists, supporters and art lovers.
Come along to support local artists, bring a friend, and experience art that speaks of home, community, culture and Country.
The Bridge Tenant Art Show 2026 runs until Saturday 6 June at Mothership Studios in Marrickville. This free exhibition shares the stories, culture and creativity of Bridge Housing tenant artists.
