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 VRCA has conducted their first 2026 Business Health Survey for regional and rural Victoria. Regional Victorian businesses are not in a “soft patch”. Many operators are now in survival mode. Our concerns are not just cost pressures; it is that businesses are working harder than ever while increasingly questioning whether the effort is sustainable. 44% of business owners say they are not drawing a living wage. 65% of business owners say they sometimes or never have work life balance. Business owners are exhausted not entitled.
