Transforming a town through art

Just over an hour from Melbourne CBD, Victoria's largest inland city, Ballarat is a thriving hub of contemporary arts, events, food, brews and wine, with a fascinating heritage backdrop.

With a legacy of the gold rush that is still evident in the magnificent architecture and tree-lined streets of the town today, Ballarat is also home to the Art Gallery of Ballarat, Australia's oldest and largest regional gallery.

More recently, contemporary art has played a role in transforming the town in to modern marvel without losing the essence of this spectacular town.

Creativity is infused into the culture of Ballarat in places like PWTN - also known as The Pub With Two Names. This quirky local favourite is in collaboration with the renowned artistic couple David and Yuge Bromley paying homage to the iconic building and former historic home of one of the first licensed hotel in the Ballarat.

Just a short drive from Melbourne, a fascinating history combined with stunning architecture and an award food and drink scene, what more could you ask for in a regional town?
