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.

Dr Harman has been awarded the Order of Australia (AM) for her significant service to social change leadership and to the community of regional Victoria in the Australia Day Honours for 2025. Jessie is one of our very special volunteers each year but it was 26 years ago when Dr Jessie Harman said yes to joining a club that would ultimately change her life. And not just her life, but the lives of many others across the country and around the world. That organisation was Rotary, and through beginnings with the Rotary Club of Wendouree Breakfast, it became the foundation for much of her work in the years to come.
