Get ready for a splash of colour and fun in the CBD this spring!

Follow the Ballarat In The Know Art Trail to uncover what 10 local creatives love most about our beautiful city.

Ben Sanders and Cam Ross have envisaged a joint initiative that reflects the underappreciated beauty of hidden architectural gems spotted throughout this beautiful city. 

They have referenced the spectacular warmth of Ballarat’s rich architecture through building facades, gilded signage and disused train station signal posts.

Three black cockatoos weave their way through a panoramic industrial landscape of sawtooth factories and smoke plumes.

Their work features a unique collaboration between Ben's creative talents and Cam's industrial imagery.

Both artists have chosen to use a muted colour palette of mutually-inspiring director Wes Anderson, dropping perfectly aligned hues to contrast the black and white imagery of this historically rich city — the place both artists love to work, live and call home.

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.
