About

The Art Gallery of Ballarat is Australia's oldest and most engaging regional gallery. It is currently closed for building upgrades. It's anticipated that the works will be completed in mid-2027.

You can still get your art fix at the Art Gallery of Ballarat's Backspace Gallery on Mair Street. This permanent space hosts exhibitions celebrating local and early-career artists.

Don't miss the pop-up gallery shop, along with family-focused art activities such as Art Bites and Early Start taking place off-site.

To stay up to date with the building works and external program of activities please visit the Art Gallery of Ballarat's website.
