1pm–4pm

At a time when the allure of artificial intelligence increasingly captivates, multidisciplinary artist Meaghan Shelton reclaims the term glamour in its original sense, not merely as visual seduction, but as an enchantment or spell. In its original meaning, a glamour was a form of magic: a charm that altered perception, allowing the ordinary to appear extraordinary. In this exhibition, the glamour cast by craft and painting is precisely this revivifying act, one that invites reconsideration of the decorative, of what lies beneath, and making as knowing.

Exhibition will be opened by Emeritus Professor Jenny Hocking AM FASS

The Old Butchers Shop Gallery is a place to show the diversity and talent of Ballarat artists, with a different artist exhibiting each month.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
