The Art Gallery of Ballarat opens its new winter exhibition on 15 July featuring 35 works by regional painters and sculptors.
Seasonal programming gains attention now because winter draws more residents indoors after the cooler June temperatures recorded at 8 degrees on average. The gallery's schedule aligns with school holidays that run from 4 to 19 July, giving families extra time to attend without weekday conflicts.
Visitors will find the main show on Lydiard Street North inside the Art Gallery of Ballarat, while additional pop-up displays appear at the Ballarat Mechanics' Institute on Sturt Street. Both sites sit within a five-minute walk of each other in the central business district.
Exhibition Details and Access
Entry to the main exhibition costs 12 dollars for adults and 6 dollars for children, with family passes at 30 dollars. Past data from the gallery shows 4200 visitors attended a similar July show in 2024.
Live Performances and Next Steps
Evening music sessions start at the Mechanics' Institute on 18 July at 7pm. Residents can buy tickets online through the venue website or at the door on the night. Check opening hours on each site before travel to avoid the 10am to 4pm weekday closures listed for the gallery.
