Who said inflatables are just for kids?!
Hidden is about to transform Ballarat's Civic Hall into a vibrant world of inflatable art – a sensory experience celebrating curiosity, creativity and play.
From 10-12 July, the immersive micro festival will invite you to wander, touch, listen and play in a dreamlike landscape of curiosity and imagination.
Civic Hall will become a place of discovery, where each turn reveals something playful, strange, or quietly beautiful.
Explore six large-scale installations by:
- Ballarat-based contemporary artist and proud Bibbulmun and Chilean transgender creative Jay Kulbardi
- surrealist First Nations artist and Atropa Studios founder Annelìse Belladonna
- Ballarat-based maker and designer Ben Pennell
- motion designer and animator Tom Bell
- Blackwood artist and sculptor Kathy Holowko
- Ballarat-based visual artist, writer and educator Meaghan Shelton
Guided by mentor Dr David Cross and produced by Mikael Abromowitch and Justin Weyers, Hidden is an immersive encounter where art is not fixed but shifting, with soft structures rising and falling, light filtering through colour and moments of surprise waiting just out of sight.
