The art of everywhere else - 2026 series
About The Art of Everywhere Else
Most of us have learned some art history at school, but it’s usually focused on art from the West, and the art from ‘everywhere else’ is forgotten. “The Art of Everywhere Else” is a series of online lectures designed in the spirit of opening a door to a university lecture theatre so anyone may listen in.
The Goat Gallery is thrilled to host another series of online lecture-viewing evenings so Nati folk can watch these lectures together in the “Goat Lounge”. These lectures are presented by the one and only Associate Professor Sam Bowker, who will share many beautiful stories about art around the world, and the ways in which art can also teach us about the world we share.
Those who join us will also have the opportunity to work on the same tasks Sam’s students complete while undertaking this course if they wish.
Just rock up if you’d like to join us.
These live online lectures will be held on Tuesday evenings from 6-7pm, beginning on Tuesday 14 July 2026.

Previous events
vinylscapes (Back soon!)
Shamelessly stolen (with permission) from Howie who first presented Vinylscapes at The Curious Rabbit in Wagga Wagga, Vinylscapes Natimuk is a relaxed music event where people bring vinyl records from their collection to listen to with others. Featuring guest music collectors and others, vinyl record listening parties are a great way to spend an evening with friends. If you don’t have vinyl, that’s OK, there will be a selection available to choose from.
Feather Flower Workshop + Dyurrite Walk | June 1, 2025
Join us for a powerful day of cultural connection and creativity on Wotjobaluk Country as part of Reconciliation Week: Bridging Now to Next.
This event is focused on reconciliation, healing, slowing down, listening and learning, and is a partnership between ACT Natimuk, Wurega Aboriginal Corporation, Goat Gallery, and the Gariwerd Wimmera Reconciliation Network. It aims to strengthen relationships and understanding in the community between First Peoples and non-Indigenous people by spending time and creating work together, and learning from each other.
In the spirit of reconciliation, this event aims to be friendly, welcoming, and culturally safe. Attendees should be respectful of First Peoples cultural lores and values.
Workshop: Learn the art of feather flower making with respected Wadi Wadi/Yorta Yorta/Ngarrindgeri artist Aunty Glenda Nicholls — Aunty Glenda will guide you through the technique of making the flowers, as well as her belief in paying respects to birds and animals.
Dyurrite Walk: Then join Wotjobaluk/Djubagalk/Jadawadjali artist Gail Harradine for a walk and talk at Dyurrite.
