Arthur – a creative space for creative creatures

‘Arthur’ aims to encourage and facilitate high quality arts and cultural activity within Ballarat, whilst promoting a wider acceptance and participation in a professional arts context by people with a disability. Arthur is an independent Ballarat based company specialising in creative management, arts administration and project development. Arthur is the umbrella for a series of multi-modal arts projects, Boxhead Ensemble and Arthur Gallery (community gallery), providing an opportunity for local emerging and established artists to create and show their works in Ballarat. 

Arthur Gallery
The gallery is located at 35 Mair Street, Ballarat (in between Tania Daniels and Blockbuster Video) and houses high quality artwork in both an exhibition and retail setting. The Arthur gallery aims to provide a showcase for the creative talent from Ballarat and region. It holds two exhibition spaces - a large area for solo or group exhibitions and a smaller space for presentation of work in different mediums by several artists at a time.
