The Festival of Art is a new event on the Ballarat Arts Calendar.

Leading up to and over the Begonia Festival weekend, the event features an art display and sales, immersive hands-on activities for adults and children, and a children's art competition.

Join in at the big white marquee on Lake Wendouree Foreshore during the weekend or on opening night on Thursday.

The over 18's Vino and Van Gogh event will be held on Saturday. This is a chance to enjoy bubbles and nibbles while creating a framed artwork to take home, with a fabulous tutor to guide your creativity.

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.
