The Ballarat Arts Foundation works to create and sustain a vibrant artistic community. We encourage and develop the aspirations and talents of emerging artists from all disciplines who have lived, worked or studied in Ballarat. To accomplish its purpose, the Foundation empowers community-based organisations and individuals to promote artistic expression and facilitate cultural exchange. We do this by providing seed funding, cultivating connections, mentoring, training and support.
