Art Gallery of Ballarat

We found ourselves in Ballarat with nothing to do that day so visited this art gallery, we are not art people but I enjoyed this one. Lots of paintings showcasing raw talent and only 2 with just random lines which is so called "art" 😅

Very impressive. Great selection of art. Found it relaxing to wander throughout the gallery. Well maintained.

Great experience for adults and children. The gallery is child friendly and my 6 and 9 yo had lots of fun walking around and appreciating the displays. Staff is simply lovely ❤

Such a lovely place to enjoy a few hours. The venue is a wonderful mix of heritage architecture and modern renovation. I came for the opening of the Trevor Smith exhibition and Light + Dark by Max Meldrum and his followers. Right in the middle of town and well worth a visit!

Some really amazing pieces of art. We also got to hear a talented woman play the piano!! Highly recommend coming here if you're in Ballarat.

This is such an amazing place to visit! I went with my baby and the minute I walked through the doors, a lovely lady named Tess greeted me. She gave me a run down of the gallery and kindly offered space if I needed to nurse during my stay. The exhibits were incredible and the shop at the end was so cool! Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Ballarat ☺️

Must visit when in Ballarat. The exhibitions are diverse and something different for all tastes. Little surprises from both well known and emerging artists. Staff are welcoming and happy to help.

We went to the PIRATE STORIES WITH PENELOPE BARTLAU today. This was a spectacular journey for kids and adults alike. Our 9 and 7 year old were incredibly taken with Penelope. She really had a wonderful way of engaging and immersing kids in the wonderful world of art through storytelling, directed by them. Miss 7 in particular left buoyant and inspired.

The Ballarat Gallery itself is wonderful with great variety in the collection. I love to see the changing displays on the lower level every time we visit.
