For our next Photowalk, we will be heading to Ballarat International Foto Biennale for the day – note that this photowalk is being held on Saturday, and not our regular Sunday outing.
 
The Ballarat International Foto Biennale was founded in 2005 and attracts significant International and Australian photographers as one of Australia’s pre-eminent photographic festivals. Held every two years it showcases work from domestic and international artists that is new, previously unseen in Australia or contextualised afresh; the Open Program fosters the development of new artists. 
 
We will spend the day checking out some of the photography exhibitions in Ballarat and there will be some photography opportunities around town while walking between the exhibitions.

FESTIVAL TICKETS: Link here – includes entry to the Core Program exhibitions throughout central Ballarat (no cost to view the Open Program exhibitions). Tickets also available in person from Festival Hub, at the Mining Exchange, 12 Lydiard Street North, open 10am-4pm.
