The Art Club Hub

The Art Club Hub is a creative business offering art experiences for children, teens, and adults, established to fill a gap in accessible, confidence-building art programs. It celebrates individuality and community connection. Offering weekly art classes, casual experiences, workshops and art functions, the club has become a second home for many locals. Growing rapidly through word-of-mouth and strong local support, The Art Club Hub is making a colourful mark on Ballarat’s creative community.

Ballarat City Council has endorsed the highest ceremonial honour a city can give to a military unit, with namesake HMAS Ballarat (II) to be granted Freedom of Entry to the City of Ballarat.

The Freedom of Entry ceremony is an event to symbolise deep trust and a shared history, dating back to Roman traditions, and will be held in Ballarat on Sunday, 15 March 2026. Head here to view the full media release.
