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.

The Industry Growth Program provides an advisory service for start-ups alongside small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that are seeking to undertake innovative commercialisation and growth projects within priority areas. Through the program, you will be connected to an Adviser who will:

  • Help you test your business model and help you overcome challenges with your innovative project
  • Work with you to develop recommendations for commercialisation and growth priorities and strategies
  • Consider suitable pathways for support and funding, which may include an Industry Growth Program grant opportunity.

If you are eligible for the Advisory Service and have received your advisory report, you may choose to apply for a grant funding opportunity. However, not all businesses will be eligible for a grant, and funding will be awarded to applications with the most merit. Learn more about applying here.
