The second exhibition in Art Space Ballarat is Colours of Light by Jen Findlay.

Captured in a dark year, these photographic works aim to display the tones and brightness that you may have missed. All the photographs show fine details, depicted in a vibrant and light way, from the environment in and around Ballarat. Open Wed to Sat, 10am to 2pm and Sun, 11am to 2pm.

Drop by an meet the artist. All works are for purchase.

Ballarat will open creative spaces for you to explore. This program will showcase the process of making, interrogating how space and place plays a role in creative design and production. Discover the workshops, kitchen tables, homes, studios, gardens, warehouses, factories and unused spaces where creative people create magic, play, experiment and make. There will be treasures to discover, ideas to inspire and objects to covet.

Currently on show at the Eureka Centre is The flag of the Southern Cross: An icon, a selection of photographs by Peter Solness. In 2003 and 2004, Solness produced a series of photographs documenting the commemoration of the Eureka Stockade in Ballarat and the many ways in which the icon of the Eureka flag has become a symbol through clothing, tattoos and its use as a political symbol by organisations including trade unions and bikie gangs. The photographs were bought for the Art Gallery of Ballarat prior to the Eureka 150 celebrations in 2004.

Ballarat has a rich history of photography. By the early 1890s, the city boasted over a dozen photographic studios capturing the city’s landscape, events and people.
