Art Gallery of Ballarat / Backspace Gallery

City of Ballarat says the main Art Gallery of Ballarat closed in March 2025 for collection work and critical building upgrades, with works expected to finish in mid-2027 before re-opening steps follow. The same council update says Backspace Gallery remains open at the pop-up gallery on Mair Street, making it the practical central art stop while the main gallery building is unavailable.
