While we are closed for interior upgrades in 2025, we are inviting the community to have their say on the Gallery’s exhibitions, programs, facilities and future. This will help us to develop a Masterplan that will drive the ambitious future direction of the Art Gallery of Ballarat. Consultation is open from Wednesday 14 May to Sunday 22 June 2025.

This is the first Masterplan ever developed for the Gallery and builds on earlier strategic consultation from 2022–2023. It’s an opportunity to re-test community insights and ensure future decisions reflect current values, ideas, and priorities. Your feedback will help shape the Gallery’s long-term vision, and use of space well beyond the current upgrades.
