About

The Board

The Art Gallery of Ballarat operates as a Not for Profit Company Limited by Guarantee of which the Ballarat City Council is the sole shareholder. It is governed by an eleven member Board of Directors who are directly responsible for the Gallery’s day-to-day operations.

The Directors were selected after expressions of interest were advertised in regional and metropolitan media. They were chosen from a field of community representatives and skills-based representatives and were required to have a demonstrated and active involvement in the arts or other cultural institutions.

Venue Hire

Imagine your wedding or business function in your very own art gallery, where your guests can admire some of the best works of art in the country. Hosting your function at the Art Gallery of Ballarat adds style and distinction to a range of occasions, from formal seated ceremonies and dinners to informal receptions.

Function venues include the Boardroom for meetings, the McCain Hall and Annexe for formal dinners and the opulent traditional or stylish contemporary exhibition galleries for cocktail functions, concerts and wedding ceremonies.

The Gallery building itself reflects a range of styles from the opulence of the 1880s to the clean lines and subtle use of natural light of the contemporary galleries, while the magnificent collection of Australian art makes it a treasure house of memorable paintings, sculptures and other works of art.
